National Accountability Bureau (NAB) has accelerated its investigation in the assets beyond means case against PPP senior leader Syed Khursheed Shah, asking Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) to submit financial details of seven others accused by January 27, 2020.

According to details, the NAB has arrested MNA Syed Khursheed Shah in the assets beyond means case from his residence at Islamabad on September 18, 2019.

He was accused of taking an amnesty plot illegally at Professors' Cooperative Housing Society Sukkur, measuring approximately 2,930 sq yards, which was meant for school in the name of his dependents, i.e, his wives and his son to build up his palatial house and also constructed other bungalows, petrol pumps and hotels in the names of Benamidars. These huge structures have been built by using funds not commensurate with his known sources of income and the dependents did not have their own sources of income to finance such huge construction.

The NAB alleged Shah for having assets worth billions of rupees registered in the names of his alleged front men and operated as many as 105 bank accounts in his and other family members' names in Karachi, Sukkur and other cities and had over 83 properties in Sukkur, Rohri and Karachi.

Now, the NAB Sukkur in order to expedite joint investigation against him has sent letter to the Regional Tax Office (RTO)-II, Karachi to submit financial details of seven other persons accused in Shah's in the assets beyond means case.

The NAB Sukkur has sought financial details of Rahim Bux Awam, his wife and his three sons and three daughters from RTO-II, Karachi by January 27, 2020.
