Liquor license case: NAB arrests former DG Excise Akram Ashraf Gondal
LAHORE (Dunya News) - A team of National Accountability Bureau (NAB) has arrested former DG-Excise Akram Ashraf Gondal in a liquor license case.
It may be recalled that last month, former DG Excise Akram Ashraf Gondal had filed a petition in the NAB to become a key witness against Chief Minister of Punjab Sardar Usman Buzdar.
According to NAB, all the documentary evidence has the signature of Akram Ashraf Gondal on the permission to issue the license.
While the signatures of Punjab Chief Minister Sardar Usman Buzdar and former Principal Secretary Dr Raheel Siddiqui was not present on any official document.
According to NAB sources, Akram Ashraf Gondal had written in his application to become a pardoned-witness that Dr Raheel was being investigated as to at whose request the alleged bribe of Rs70 million was received.
On the other hand, in reply to the NAB questionnaire, the Punjab Chief Minister had taken the position that neither I, the Provincial Chief Secretary nor his Principal Secretary had any role in the approval of the liquor license.
