Author: Zafar Malik

ISLAMABAD: A sexual harassment scandal in the Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA) has surfaced.

OGRA officials not only levelled allegations but also handed over documentary evidence against each other to the National Accountability Bureau (NAB).

After receiving complaints regarding the case NAB interrogated former OGRA chairman Saeed Ahmed Khan, Aamir Saleem, Nauman Afzal, Chaudhry Yasin, Sarmad and Col (r) Farrukh and recorded their statements,  as the scandal dates back to the tenure of Khan.

During the interrogation, the charges were proved, however, the accused officials refused to accept the health of the charges levelled against them.

An OGRA employee told NAB that an official involved in the harassment scandal has been transferred on an important slot.

The former chairman posted the officials involved in harassing women on lucrative positions.
