Irregular appointments: NAB raids Abdul Wali Khan University

MARDAN:

A four-member team of the National Accountability Bureau raided the main campus of Abdul Wali Khan University in Mardan on Tuesday to check records for any irregularities in staff appointments.

The varsity’s focal person Sher Alam told journalists they approached the high court after the raid but the Ehtesab Commission (EC) also came into the loop and is now trying to take the situation in its hands.

Alam added the university’s legal team challenged the EC’s investigation as NAB is already looking into this case.

So far, NAB has collected information on appointments from BPS-01 to BPS-16 in the varsity and taken the documents in its custody, added Alam. He asserted NAB is responsible for investigating irregularities and not the EC.
