PESHAWAR – The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) gave the nod on Tuesday to initiate an investigation into allegations of embezzlement of Rs2 billion against Nawaz Sharif’s son-in-law Captain (retd) Safdar.
According to reports, Safdar is accused of misappropriation of Rs2 billion in ongoing development projects in his constituency NA-21 (Mansehra). Sources said that the complaint against Safdar was filed by a resident of the constituency.
NAB Chairman Justice (retired) Javed Iqbal gave the go-ahead for investigating the complaint against Safdar and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) wing of the accountability bureau has also appointed an inquiry officer for the case.
Earlier this month, NAB chairman had taken notice of similar allegations against Safdar for being biased in awarding contracts.
