ISLAMABAD: Speaker Sindh Assembly has been nabbed by National Accountability Bureau (NAB) on Wednesday in a case pertaining to assets beyond known income, ARY News reported.
As per details, officials of NAB’s Karachi division arrested the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) senior leader from the federal capital.
Sources informed ARY News that the accused will be shifted to Rawalpindi’s office of the bureau.
The anti-graft watchdog had summoned the speaker a number of times to interrogate in the case, however, Durrani failed to comply with the order which led to his arrest by NAB today.
On July 20 last year, the anti-corruption body had ordered an inquiry on charges of corruption against the Sindh Assembly speaker.
According to a NAB statement, three separate inquiries were initiated against Durrani.
One inquiry pertains to allegations of accumulation of assets beyond known sources of income by the PPP leader, while the second pertains to illegal appointments of 352 on government posts.
