http://www.dawn.com/news/1148263,the inquiry into illegal sale of power to a sugar mill and his previous services to the FIA to recover billions of money speaks volumes about why people have targetted him. The irony is that it was FIA which choose him to help them as they percieved him as an honest employee and its the same FIA that is accusing him now.
