The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) has reportedly found important evidence of alleged large-scale corruption in the Sindh government’s Roshan Sindh Program, with investigators now widening the scope of the case.
According to NAB sources, more than 17 fake import declarations were used in the project, while forged import papers and over-invoicing allegedly caused major losses to the national exchequer.
Sources said project figures including Mehfooz Qazi, Mudassar Qazi, Jafar Khawaja, and Aoun Khawaja have been summoned in connection with the inquiry.
Investigators have already recorded the statement of one suspect, while two others have been called in on April 15.
The inquiry has also uncovered indications that more influential individuals may be linked to the case. NAB sources said billions of rupees were allegedly moved abroad through fraudulent means, with expensive properties reportedly purchased in Dubai.
Officials have now expanded the investigation, and sources say arrests are also possible as the case moves forward.
The alleged corruption in the project is said to exceed Rs. 5 billion. NAB sources further claimed that illegal payments were also made to a company during the execution of the scheme.
