LAHORE: Officials of the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) were not allowed to go inside the estate of former prime minister Nawaz Sharif to deliver him a summons.
NAB officials then submitted the summons at the security checkpoint outside Nawaz’s Jati Umra residence in Raiwind.
Nawaz has been reportedly summoned by NAB at its Lahore office on April 21 to record his statement in a corruption case regarding the misuse of authority to construct a road from Raiwind to Jati Umra. NAB has alleged that the Sharif brothers ‘misused’ their authority to increase the covered area of the road between Raiwind and the Sharif family’s residence. The bureau claims the road was illegally widened by four feet from 20 to 24 feet. The case involves the alleged misappropriation of Rs 125 million.
