The anti-corruption establishment (ACE) Jacobabad arrested on Monday the former taluka finance officer (TFO) of the Thull Town Committee on charges of corruption in development works worth Rs130 million.
Following complaints of massive corruption by the former officer of the Thull Town Committee, Amanullah Abro, an ACE team conducted a raid in Kandhkot and arrested the accused.
