KARACHI: The Sindh High Court (SHC) on Friday rejected bail petitions of former managing director of the Sindh Tourism Development Corporation (STDC) Roshan Ali Kanasro and seven other accused in a case pertaining to alleged corruption worth Rs175 million. The reference against Kanasro was filed in November last year. The SHC also summoned the complete record of the reference from the National Accountability Bureau (NAB). According to the anti-graft agency, the STDC had invited tenders for the award of contracts to private contractors for the purchase of furniture, repair of vehicles, event management, and printing/publication, etc. It said that tenders were published in dummy newspapers on July 31, 2017, and most of the participating companies were fake and had been formed only to get these tenders.
