It is noted further that these payments were used for the purchase of plots no A-8 and 10-A at DHA, Karachi in the name of his wife Farzana Naek.

Apart from this, NAB Karachi is already probing the nexus between Farooq H Naek and the Sindh government in which an exorbitant amount of approximately Rs500 million has been paid by the law department (2014 to 2018) in various litigations to him.

Naek is still engaged by the Sindh government against the orders passed by the Supreme Court of Pakistan in CP NO 3054/2015 dated December 13, 2017, says the report.

Presently, Naek is representing Asif Ali Zardari and Faryal Talpur in this case, says the report.
