Assets beyond means: NAB starts probe against Khursheed Shah

Author: inp

The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) has started an investigation against Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) leader and former leader of the opposition in the National Assembly Khursheed Shah for “owning assets beyond means”.

According to sources in the bureau, NAB Sukkur had contacted various institutions and sought details of Shah’s assets along with the PPP leader’s son and son-in-law, who have been included in the probe.

Shah is the central figure of the PPP. He served as the leader of the opposition in the National Assembly during the last tenure of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N).

Shah secured victory in the last general elections from NA-206.

The accountability watchdog had launched investigations against former minister Ziaul Hassan Lanjar, Manzoor Wassan, Aijaz Jakhrani, Nawaz Wassan, Rauf Khoso, Sohrab Sarki, Sohail Anwar Siyal and Sitar Rajpar.
