Six NAB Director Generals transfered, posted

ISLAMABAD: The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) on Tuesday issued a notification shuffling the duties of six Director Generals (DGs), after the Supreme Court (SC) ordered it earlier to dismiss four DGs.

DG NAB Sukkur Altaf Bawani was appointed as DG NAB Karachi, Nasir Iqbal was appointed as DG NAB Rawalpindi, former DG NAB Rawalpindi Ateek ur Rehman was transferred to Multan, and Director International Cooperation NAB Headquarter Irfan Naeem Mangi was appointed as DG NAB Quetta.

The additional charge of DG NAB Sukkur was handed over to Fayaz Qureshi, NAB sources told Geo News.

The Supreme Court (SC) on March 29 ordered the removal of three military officials and a civilian inducted into the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) with inherent disqualification.

A three-member bench of the apex court, headed by Justice Ameer Hani Muslim, heard the suo moto case regarding alleged illegalities, contraventions, and violations in appointment within the anti-graft body.

The court directed removal of Lahore NAB DG Major (retd) Burhan Ali, Karachi NAB DG Major (retd) Shabbir Ahmed and Balochistan NAB DG Major (retd) Tariq Mehmood Dawar and Aliya Rashid, a sportswoman and NAB DG Awareness and Prevention.

NAB Chairman Qamar Zaman Chaudhry day informed the court that the three military officials inducted into the Bureau had refused to get premature retirement and opted for contesting the case.
