LAHORE: An unusual incident happened during the hearing of cash laundering case against Shahbaz Sharif's family during a Lahore Accountability Court when the judge made a remark about Turkish series Ertugrul Ghazi.
According to Geo News, the judge made a stimulating remark after the witness repeatedly placed a hand on his chest before speaking.
"Why are you keeping a hand on your chest repeatedly, you're looking like Ertugrul Ghazi," said Lahore Accountability Court Judge Jawad-ul-Hassan.
The judge's comment sent the courtroom into fits of laughter.
The court was hearing a concealment case during which two more National Accountability Bureau (NAB) witnesses, Ibrahim Malik and Muhammad Sharif, are summoned to record their statements during subsequent hearing.
The court has adjourned the hearing of the reference till January 4.
The Turkish show, being telecast on PTV on the direction of Prime Minister Imran Khan, has gained immense popularity among the Pakistani audience.
