The questionnaire had seven questions regarding the purpose of formation of the new company, research and feasibility report and following legal formalities.

Shehbaz had ignored NAB’s summon thrice in the case on the pretext of medical grounds. So, a decision to visit him at the residence on Tuesday was made. However, the anti-graft watchdog has decided to send a questionnaire rather.

Meanwhile, during the initial investigation, NAB has managed to dig out startling details of assets of former federal secretary Salman Ghani reportedly made during his job. Sources said Ghani had three houses in Lahore besides plots in Cantonment, Defence Phase-8, and Phase-V areas. His daughter owned a house in Brussels and another daughter owned a house in Lahore.
