ISLAMABAD: A grade 22 senior officer Fawad Hasan Fawad continues to maintain a firm stance of innocence against all accusations of corruption and misuse of power.

Family sources claims of the former senior bureaucrat approaching the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) for a ‘plea bargain’ is another fiction concocted to mislead the media and entirely false.

They said after multiple documents that have been brought to the courts attention in recent hearings, particularly the settlement between PLDC and Calsons among others, it is evidently clear the former principal secretary did not commit a single wrongful act as claimed by the anti-graft watchdog.

“In fact, the bureau responsible for accountability is ironically on a fishing expedition to create an entirely fabricated, mala fide case,” they maintained.

Sources further stated NAB’s malicious allegations and oppressive actions, without an iota of substantial proof to support their story has made it evidently clear the case against Fawad is nothing more than political persecution, being manipulated now through a deceitful media trial.

Fawad took the role of prime minister’s principal secretary in 2015 during the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz rule and worked with both Nawaz Sharif and Shahid Khaqan Abbasi.
