Saira Anwar, the third wife of a noted figure in Punjab province, instead of appearing before the Federal Investigation Authority (FIA) escaped to Dubai, 24NewsHD TV channel reported on Tuesday.  

The FIA Lahore had summoned Saira Anwar on Jan 3, said to be the wife of a political bigwig in Punjab, in an inquiry related to assets beyond means.

As per the notice, the agency has directed Saira to appear before the concerned investigation officer by January 3. It has been learnt that the FIA had initiated an inquiry against Saira due to an unusual increase in her assets and the increase in land registered in her name.

Following the footsteps of Farah Gogi, she also succeeded to escape from the country.   Her lawyer Athar Kiyani appeared before the FIA and asked for more time. He contended the authority that Saira Anwar could not appear today due to her personal engagements. 

Accepting the plea of the lawyer, Federal Investigating Authority Lahore has decided to recall Saira Anwar.
