ISLAMABAD: In a bid to further tighten the noose around the National Testing Service (NTS), National Accountability Bureau (NAB) Chairman Justice (r) Javed Iqbal on Tuesday sought a preliminary inquiry report from Rawalpindi NAB in this connection. The NAB chairman sought a report pertaining to NTS from Rawalpindi NAB director general forthwith, so as to speed up the investigation process. After receiving the directives from the chairman, NAB at once initiated inquiry against NTS and a preliminary inquiry report would be submitted to the bureau’s chairman soon afterwards. The chairman said that the bureau received a number of complaints against NTS, so it was decided to investigate all the allegations together. A recent report of the Pakistan auditor general had revealed that NTS officials and related departments were not in favour of a verification process.
