Author: News Desk

LAHORE: The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) questioned Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz’s (PML-N) MNA-elect Khawaja Saad Rafique and his brother Salman Rafique in relation to Paragon housing scheme case on Tuesday.

The two siblings, partners in Paragon housing scheme, are under investigation on charges of seeking undue benefits from the previous government in its Ashiana Iqbal Housing Scheme.

The two brothers arrived at the NAB office in the afternoon on Tuesday, where a three-member NAB team separately questioned them for an hour each. According to reports, they submitted the money trail and other record during the session. Earlier on Monday, the two brothers were granted protective bail by the Lahore High Court, after the Islamabad High Court refused to grant them bail.
