Last week, SAPM Bajwa was accused of having a business empire across four countries in the name of his sons and wife.
An anti-army journalist, formerly associated with the Jang group, had broken the story on a lesser-known website, alleging that the former DG ISPR was hiding his assets when he filed a disclosure ahead of taking oath as a SAPM on Information and Broadcasting.
