Documents available with Pakistan Today disclose that NAB has initiated an inquiry against Najam Sethi and Fawad Hassan Fawad to probe the charges of corruption levelled against them in different complaints submitted with the bureau. According to sources, former NAB chairman Qamar Zaman Chaudry did not grant permission to start an inquiry against Fawad Hassan Fawad and Najam Sethi during his tenure. They said that though the name of Sethi was mentioned in Panama Papers, and former test-cricketer Sarfraz Nawaz requested to initiate the inquiry, NAB remained reluctant to pursue the matter. Furthermore, details of allegations levelled against Najam Sethi by former test cricketer Sarfraz Nawaz revolve around possession of two un-declared apartments in Manhattan, New York. The spokesman of NAB and Fawad Hassan Fawad did not appear for official stance despite repeated efforts made by Pakistan Today.
