Despite a complete ban on transfers in Punjab due to the upcoming by-elections of the provincial assembly, the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) has transferred one dozen Additional Directors (ADs) and one Deputy Director (DD).
Most of the transferred officials were investigating high-profile cases including those of money laundering and assets beyond means against the ruling Sharif family.
