Former premier Shahid Khaqan Abbasi in connection with his ongoing investigation into the LNG scandal once again summonded by the National Accountability Bureau (NAB).
According to sources, the corruption watchdog has asked the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader and his son to show up tomorrow at the Rawalpindi office where they will likely be quizzed about billions of rupees worth of suspicious transactions into their accounts.
The father-son duo will be asked to explain under what head billions of rupees were transacted into their accounts at a time when the then government was in the process of finalising the LNG agreements.
Notably, Mr Shahid Khaqan Abbasi was arrested in connection with the case in July last year. He is accused of awarding a 15-year contract for an LNG terminal allegedly when he was petroleum minister in former prime minister Nawaz Sharif’s cabinet.
On May 5, an Islamabad High Court (IHC) bench had granted protective bail to Abbasi in a case related to alleged illegal appointments of the managing director and deputy managing director of the Pakistan State Oil (PSO).
