According to the channel, the MPA has requested the committee to give her two days time to prove her innocence. An investigation committee was formed on the orders of Punjab Chief Minister (CM) Shahbaz Sharif, consisting of Senators Pervaiz Rasheed and Raja Ishfaq Sarwar. The committee had also asked the MPA to either get bail or hand herself over to the police so that investigation process can be completed. Talking to the channel, Senator Raja Ishfaq Sarwar said the committee had asked the MPA to resign from her provincial assembly seat if she was not able to prove her innocence. Sarwar said he spoke to Shumaila, who claimed that the woman, whose credit card she used, owed her money and gave her credit card to Shumaila to withdraw that amount.
