Last month, the accountability bureau had arrested former principal secretary to the prime minister, Fawad Hassan Fawad in various corruption references filed against him, including the Ashiana project. According to reports, NAB wants to interrogate Shehbaz about the revelations made by Fawad. According to NAB officials, Fawad had awarded a contract to ‘favourites’, illegally ordered the shifting of nine CNG stations and worked in a private bank from 2005 to 2006 without an official permission, terming these as “sheer violations of rules”. Besides, the accused bureaucrat was also being probed by NAB officials for possession of assets beyond known sources of income. Fawad, who served as the secretary of Shehbaz at that time, aided the contract to be awarded to Casa Developers.
