Lahore, July 6 (TNS): An accountability court on Friday accepted the National Accountability Bureau’s (NAB) request for a 14-day physical remand of senior bureaucrat Fawad Hasan Fawad.
Fawad was arrested by the anti-graft body on Thursday over various corruption charges including the Ashiana-e-Iqbal Housing Scheme case.
The bureau presented Fawad before the accountability court early morning.
As the hearing went under way, NAB Prosecutor Waris Ali Janjua informed the court that common citizens had filed applications in the Ashiana-e-Iqbal Project.
Janjua accused Fawad of trying to keep an inquiry committee report of the housing scheme case out of the reach of authorities. He further said that the officers who had written the Ashiana-e-Iqbal Housing Scheme report had also been summoned to appear before the court.
The court inquired whether a money trail of the case was ascertained, to which the NAB investigation officer responded that efforts for the same were under way. He further added that the victims have also been summoned for the probe.
