Qaim Ali Shah appeared before the Sindh High Court here yesterday. During hearing of the case, the NAB prosecutor informed the SHC that the accountability bureau is carrying out two different probes against the PPP hailed former chief minister.
“Subsequent evidence has been collected against Qaim Ali Shah,” prosecutor continued.
The National Accountability Bureau is investigating the ‘illegal’ allotment of the Malir Development Authority land. Shah alleged that the anti-graft watchdog’s allegations against him were a ‘revengeful act’. The court after extending bail of Qaim Ali Shah until March 21, directed him to continue cooperation with the NAB team. The Karachi chapter of the NAB had launched four investigations against officers of Sindh government and others for illegally allotting 307 acres of land in the Malir riverbed to various beneficiaries in violation of law and rules after squeezing the boundaries of Malir river. Misuse of authority allegedly by officials of the provincial government along with various beneficiaries and front men caused millions of loss to the national exchequer.
