He, however, told the court that no arrest warrants had been issued against Imran Khan's wife so far.
The prosecutor said that some record pertaining to the Al Qadir Trust was also missing, adding that might be the beneficiary of the scam had taken the documents with him.
Imran Khan's lawyer, on the other hand, prayed the court to grant further time for arguments in the case, adding that his client had to appear in other courts as well in same day.
He said that the bureau had first time summoned Imran Khan and his wife simultaneously on same day in Toshakhana case instead of Al Qadir Trust matter.
He said that his clients had answered to every notice of NAB, adding that Bushra Bibi had informed the bureau that she would appear along with her husband.
