ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – A three-member board has been formed to carry out proper medical checkup of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) president and Opposition Leader in the National Assembly (NA) Shehbaz Sharif.
According to details, National Accountability Bureau (NAB) wrote a letter to executive director of polyclinic in this regard.
The decision was taken after Shehbaz Sharif, who was arrested by NAB on October 5, told the accountability that issues related to his health are being neglected in NAB custody and that he has asked for few necessary medical tests but the bureau officials told they have not received any order in this regard from the ‘higher authority’.
The court extended PML-N president’s physical remand till November 7 and also approved his three-day transit remand to attend the National Assembly session.
PML-N president was arrested on October 5 after appearing before the NAB team in Saaf Paani Company scheme. NAB said Shehbaz failed to satisfy the investigation team regarding a tender awarded to a private consultancy firm and was therefore arrested.
The anti-graft watchdog said the firm did not conduct any kind of survey but nevertheless was provided a lucrative sum of 1.5 billion rupees. It added that Fawad Hassan Fawad, the principal secretary of former premier Nawaz Sharif, had become an approver in the case.
The anti-graft agency said that the contract for the housing scheme was won by a construction company titled Chaudhry Latif and Sons but Sharif cancelled it and later on awarded the contract to Lahore Casa Developers - a proxy group of Paragon City (Pvt) Limited, which is said to be owned by former Railways minister Saad Rafique.
