NAB clears Sethi in corruption investigation

PCB chairman was accused by former Test fast-bowler Sarfraz Nawaz of wrongdoing

KARACHI: The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) has dismissed corruption charges against the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman Najam Sethi by former Test fast-bowler Sarfaraz Nawaz declaring them ‘Not Fit for Action’ (NFA).

The verdict by NAB Lahore in a letter dated May 14, stated that the complaint against Sethi has been declared as ‘NFA’ which means that the investigations have revealed nothing untoward and that the allegations have been found to be totally unsubstantiated.



The PCB has already initiated legal proceedings against Sarfaraz and he has been barred from making any comments against the PCB chairman.

Court cases filed against Sarfraz Nawaz

Sethi has exercised his legal right by filing suits for defamation, with civil courts issuing restraining orders against Sarfaraz.

However, Sarfaraz has continued to speak out against Sethi, whereupon various contempt applications were filed and are pending against him, including multiple civil suits in Lahore District Court and the former pacer has also been issued gag orders by PEMRA.

PCB’s legal advisor issued notice to PEMRA with copies to all major news channels requesting PEMRA to warn the TV channels to stop giving air time to Sarfaraz.
