All directors at Steel Hardware have been arrested.
RaajjeMV understands that five directors of the family-run business were arrested on Monday night.
Speaking to RaajjeMV, an official from the family said that one of them was released a few hours later.
All five are related to Justice Ali Hameed, who is currently in police custody over allegations of bribery and attempting to overthrow the government. However, the reason for their arrest is unclear.
In addition, Hameed’s wife and other relatives had been taken into police custody as well.
