ISLAMABAD:
In a letter written to President Asif Ali Zardari on Monday, National Accountability Bureau (NAB) chief Fasih Bokhari stated that the watchdog’s officials were under pressure due to insufficient time given by the Supreme Court to implement its orders, Express News reported.
Bokhari expressed his reservations over the "character of the Supreme Court" in the letter, after one of the investigators in the Rental Power Projects case allegedly committed suicide.
According to a clinical report released on Sunday, the slain NAB investigator Kamran Faisal was a victim of depression and had committed suicide.
Admiral Bokhari said that the “written orders of the court are different from the verbal orders.”
Express News quoted sources as saying that the NAB chief also said that he will tender his resignation if the matter is not resolved.
The hearing of the case is underway at the Supreme Court.
Faisal was found hanging from the ceiling fan in his room at a government hostel in Islamabad, three days after the Supreme Court ordered the prime minister’s arrest in the Rental Power Projects (RPPs) case. He was part of the team investigating the case.
