The NAB deputy director of Investigation Wing wrote a letter to the CDA chairman to seek the details of illegal housing societies operating in Zone-I of the federal capital. The letter asked the civic agency to provide list of housing schemes including the detail addresses, year of initiation of scheme, total area of the scheme and names of owners, management and secretaries of the schemes.
