Forensic examination of records will be carried out by independent auditors while Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) and Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) will take action by obtaining records at their respective levels, sources added.

The sources said the government agencies have decided to write a letter to international financial institutions for the record of the PTI as well as the party supremo's international bank accounts.

According to the report, an action will be taken under a data exchange agreement reached during the tenure of former Finance Minister Ishaq Dar.

As per the agreement, the FBR has the legal authority to take records from foreign banks.

Sources also said that records of other foreign bank accounts including US, UK, Canada, Norway, Finland, New Zealand and Australia will be obtained.

The federal government has also decided to scrutinise the cricketer-turned-politician's statements and income, the paper reported.

The ousted party and the former prime minister are currently under scrutiny on the charges of foreign funding from countries.

Any irregularity in assets and income may be used by PTI's arch-rival and the incumbent Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) party to charge the ousted premier with assets beyond means, undeclared income and illegal inflow of huge sum of funds from unknown sources.

The cricketer-turned-politician won the general election in 2018 promising to eradicate corruption from Pakistan. His government filed several corruption cases against former prime minister Nawaz Sharif and his younger brother and current Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif. The Sharifs have claimed that the corruption cases against them were politically motivated.
