Bol TV owner Shoaib Sheikh Arrested in Islamabad
Shoaib Sheikh, the CEO of Axact and owner of Bol TV, has been apprehended in the federal capital of Pakistan on suspicion of bribing a judge, according to initial reports.
The Federal Investigation Agency detained the prominent businessman and media tycoon after a senior FIA official filed a complaint against him in Islamabad.
It is worth noting that Mr. Sheikh had previously been sentenced to 20 years in prison by a local court, but his sentence was suspended by the Islamabad High Court.
