NAB recommends investigation against former IG police
The National Accountability Bureau's Regional Board Karachi recommended NAB to convert an Inquiry against former Sindh IG Ghulam Haider Jamali into an investigation. He and others were accused of accumulating assets beyond their known means of income.
The Regional Board meeting - held with DG NAB Karachi Dr Najaf Quli Mirza in the chair- took a view of inquiries, investigations and various other operational matters. It also approved a reference against Pir Fareed Jan Sarhandi, then SSP Hyderabad, and others on charges of illegally appointing 378 Police Constables in District Hyderabad.
The board recommended filing a reference to the competent authority against the proprietors/ builders of Education City near LUMHS, Jamshoro, officers and officials of the revenue department and others, said a press release.
The accused persons, in connivance with revenue officers of Jamshoro, allegedly illegally occupied government land measuring 132 acres through fake and forged entries. The accused persons reportedly launched an illegal Housing Scheme under the name of Education City and caused a loss of Rs.264 million to the government exchequer.
The board accepted the plea bargain application of accused Abdul Sattar Leghari, amounting to Rs6.6 million and recommended it for approval to the accountability court. The accused was allegedly involved in illegal disposal of precious government land measuring 3.8 acres of Cooperative Farm Service Centre, located at Tando Allahyar and one acre land of Cooperative Farm Service Centre located at Mirpurkhas through a fake auction.
