LAHORE – Detained former director general of Lahore Development Authority Ahad Cheema on Monday met his wife after the latter accused the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) of not giving her access.
The NAB released a photo of the meeting, which continued for over an hour. According to a notification issued by the anti-corruption watchdog, NAB chief Justice (retired) Javed Iqbal had granted permission of the meeting on the basis of humanitarian grounds.
It added that the bureau performed its duties according to the law. It stated that department did not believe in discriminatory behaviour with the suspects.

Cheema was arrested last week following the charges of misusing his authority while being in office. The corruption charges say the ex-DG awarded a contract of the Ashiana-e-Iqbal project worth approximately Rs14 billion to Lahore Casa Developers with criminal intentions. He is also accused of receiving the bribe in the form of a 32-Kanal land valuing Rs30.09 million from the owners of Paragon City (Pvt) Ltd.
On Feb 22, an accountability court sent Cheema on 11-day physical remand in Ashiana Housing Scheme scandal for interrogation.
