The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) is considering launching an investigation against Punjab Chief Minister (CM) Usman Buzdar for alleged involvement in corrupt practices, a news channel reported on Wednesday.
According to the report, two applications accusing the chief minister of corruption were filed in the accountability bureau. It added that top officials at the bureau’s headquarters were aware of the matter and that they had ordered to take necessary action over it.
It was further revealed that Buzdar has been accused of getting a government helicopter insured for Rs70 million instead of Rs30 million, an amount that the provincial chief minister had ordered to be paid from supplementary grants.
Moreover, the chief minister is also being probed for allegedly illegally awarding an alcohol-sale permit to a private hotel in Lahore.
