National Accountability Bureau (NAB) authorities have taken notice of an incident when a team of the anti-graft was assaulted by relatives of rental power project scam suspect Raja Babar Ali Zulqurnain, the son of former Azad Jammu and Kashmir president Raja Zulqurnain, during a search of his house on Wednesday.
NAB conducted the search after the accused divulged information during his physical remand regarding records relevant to the investigation into the rental power project case, said a press release issued here on Thursday.
The NAB team, which was accompanied by the local police and Mirpur Administration officials, was attacked by family members of the accused during the search.
The injured NAB officials were taken to a local hospital for medical treatment. An FIR has been lodged at the local police station.
The statement adds that legal actions will also be taken against the attackers under the National Accountability Ordinance for hampering the investigation.
