PESHAWAR:
An accountability court on Monday handed over the custody of three suspects to the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) for seven days. The accused are vendors from Mardan who sell stamp papers for legal documents and were arrested for facilitating former Mardan DPO Waqif Khan in laundering money.
Kachkol Khan, Akhtar Ali and Abdullah were produced before the court of Judge Muhammad Ibrahim Khan by investigation officer Muhammad Shafi for obtaining their physical remand.
Waqif is already in NAB’s custody on charges of possessing illegal assets which he accumulated during his service from 1971 to 2011. NAB prosecutor Lajbar Khan told the court that the three men helped the police official produce fraudulent documents, such as stamp papers with tampered dates, with the help of which the ex-DPO got a loan worth Rs120 million.
The court was asked to facilitate further investigation by giving NAB custody of the suspects.
The plea was accepted and the bureau was granted physical remand of the accused for seven days.
On May 9, NAB arrested Waqif for owning assets that grossly exceeded his income.
According to a NAB press release, the assets include a four-storey plaza in Sethi Town, Rs30 million in national savings schemes, and plots in Police Colony and Sarbuland Pura, as well as houses in Saddar, Hayatabad and Sethi Town, Peshawar, along with properties in Islamabad.
