The bureau also claimed that it recovered a property in Lahore's Gulberg area spread over four kanals belonging to the former finance minister and handed it over to the Punjab Government as well.
The press release stated that the property would be sold and its proceeds would be handed over to the Punjab Government.
The former finance minister is accused of possessing assets disproportionate to his declared sources of income.
A reference against the former finance minister was filed by the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) in light of the Supreme Court's July 28 verdict in the Panama Papers case.
Dar had earlier been declared a proclaimed offender by the accountability court due to his continuous absence from the proceedings.
