KARACHI: The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) on Wednesday arrested three suspects, including Sindh Engro Coal Mining Company Chairman Khursheed Jamali, in connection with the Nooriabad power project. In a notification issued by the bureau, the anti-graft watchdog said to have arrested Syed Muhammad Asif and Syed Muhammad Arif besides Jamali for committing irregularities in the Rs13 billion power project. Reportedly, an arrest warrant for Jamali was also issued two days ago for his purported involvement in the STDC affairs. The accused is expected to be presented before an accountability court today (Wednesday). The Nooriabad power project was originally conceived by the Sindh government in 2012, but could not be materialized then due to ‘delays in regulatory approvals’, then adviser to the chief minister on finance and energy, Syed Murad Shah had said.
