Rs 360 million has been transferred from the bank account of former finance minister Ishaq Dar to the Government of Punjab, said media reports on Thursday. In October, an accountability court ordered the auction of Ishaq Dar’s assets and confiscated his bank accounts in Pakistan on a plea by the National Accountability Bureau. NAB had filed the petition after Dar went to London for medical treatment where he continues to stay, avoiding corruption cases against him in the accountability court. According to reports, Rs 360 million was deposited in over a dozen accounts linked to Dar. On Wednesday, the Supreme Court was informed by the authorities concerned that questions from United Kingdom’s Home Office pertaining to the return of Dar to Pakistan had been forwarded to NAB and the bureau would respond to them. The apex court ordered NAB to respond to the UK Home Office’s questionnaire in one month and submit a report. Published in Daily Times, November 16th 2018.
