LAHORE – NAB officials have submitted the summons at the security checkpoint outside Nawaz’s Jati Umra residence in Raiwind. Nawaz has been summoned by NAB at its Lahore office on April 21.
The former premier has been summoned to record his statement in a corruption case regarding the misuse of authority to construct a road from Raiwind to Jati Umra.
The NAB has alleged that the Sharif brothers ‘misused’ their authority to increase the cover area of the road between Raiwind and the Sharif family residence. The bureau claims the road was widened by four feet from 20 to 24 feet. The case involves the alleged misappropriation of Rs125 million.
It is alleged that the funds allocated for development projects by District Council, Lahore were used for construction of the road. Investigations against the Sharif brothers in the case were initiated by NAB on April 17, 2000.
