National Accountability Bureau (NAB) chairman Fasih Bokhari said on Monday that the Rental Power Projects (RPP) case will be suspended until an independent investigation into the death of NAB official Kamran Faisal is completed, Express News reported.
If the investigation is unsatisfactory, NAB will conduct the investigation itself, Bokhari said. He added that any officer who wishes to remove himself from the case may do so.
Express News correspondent Haider Naseem reported that the only officer who had requested to be taken off the RPP case was Faisal himself.
NAB presents five demands
The employees and officers of National Accountability Bureau (NAB) presented five demands to authorities earlier on Monday after their fellow officer Faisal was ‘mysteriously’ found dead, reported Express News.
The employees demanded that a Supreme Court judge should inquire into the death of Faisal, who was investigating the Rental Power Projects case involving Prime Minister Raja Pervaiz Ashraf. Faisal’s post mortem report had declared the death a suicide but his family refused to accept the report, insisting it was murder.

The Kamran’s murder is massage to whole nation that the corrupt lobbies in our country are so strong and only one institution that is Supreme Court which is giving some stopple the culprits.
Mr Bokhari, amazing tie!
how convenient!
Fasi Bokhari cuts a sorry figure in this mess.
How come NAB investigate the case when NAB Official has died. NAB's investigations will not be credible.
Let the impartial judicial commission should have its findings and make public.
He just needs an excuse to delay the RPP case. By siding with the accused in the RPP case, the chairman is RESPONSIBLE for Kamrans death.
It's all working out perfectly, isn't it Mr Prime Minister?
It's all working out perfectly, isn't it, Mr. Prime Minister?
The ex-naval chief Admiral FB did the right thing to excuse himself from the investigation to be fair and impartial. Let all the facts come out and the SC make a final decision.
Nab chairman is as corrupt as the political figures he is meant to scrutinise.
There we go, another ploy by NAB to protect the corrupt prime minister (Raja Pervez Ashref) and his cronies......SC should take notice of this new development and force Fasih Bokhari to resign immediately because he is just proving to be inept like his masters.
Chairman NAB is appointed by president he must resign
