Since the money belonged to the federal government, therefore, the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) will deal with these cases.
The government will not only recover the amount from these officials but also register cases against them. Sindh province was on the top where 50 officers directly and 888 indirectly were taking the benefits through their spouses.
Shahzad Akbar maintained that the list is based on a detailed data verification carried out by the BISP in collaboration with the National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA).
a very good initiative from the BISP Team
Lets see how NAB, SC and law enforcing authorities deal this case.
NO case means no crime and this list is nothing but to defame these employees
