An accountability court on Tuesday allowed the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) to have 10-day physical custody of former secretary of Evacuee Trust Property Board (ETPB) Ameer Khan involved in Rs 985 million corruptions. The NAB officials produced Ameer Khan before the court to seek his physical remand for investigation in the case. A deputy prosecutor of the bureau told the court that the suspect committed misappropriation during his stint as secretary ETPB from 2008 to 2011. He said the suspect had main role in illegal investment of over Rs 985 million with a private company. The prosecutor further told the court that the suspect developed assets in South Waziristan and Islamabad also.
However he said the suspect went underground in Lahore to avoid his arrest. He asked the court to grant 14-day physical remand of the suspect for the recovery of the plundered money and to complete investigation. The court after hearing the prosecutor allowed ten-day remand of the suspect.
