LAHORE, Dec 30: Federal Minister for Privatisation Waqar Ahmad Khan and former additional IGP Azhar Hassan Nadeem, along with 11 others, on Thursday recorded their statements before the National Accountability Bureau (Punjab) for allegedly transferring in their name a commercial land in Lahore in violation of a Supreme Court verdict.
The others who joined the investigation are former minister Tikka Muhammad Iqbal, Sheikh Muhammad Ayub, Mukhtar Tikka, Hammad Tikka, Adil Saleem, Haseeb Azhar, Rana M. Azam Khan, Shaukatullah Bangish, Saifullah Bangish, Aammar Ahmad Khan and Aftab Majeed.
Former attorney general Malik Muhammad Qayyum, Brig Tahir Saeed (retired) and Teefy Butt did not appear.
According to the NAB, the Supreme Court in 2006 had declared the land of a marriage hall (Qasr-i-Zouq) in Gulberg “non-salable/nonpurchasable” after its owners Sheikh Ayub and Sheikh Mohsin allegedly committed a fraud of Rs1,385 million through its forex company.
The NAB has to submit its findings on Jan 10, 2011 to the Supreme Court.
Meanwhile, the NAB filed a reference against Ghulam Nabi, a former Customs constable, on the charges of acquiring assets beyond known sources of his income.
