Tauqir Sadiq in Interpol custody

ABU DHABI: Former OGRA chairman, Tauqir Sadiq has been placed in Interpol custody after being handed over by authorities here.

Well placed sources have informed Geo News that Interpol will hand Sadiq over to Pakistan, but the matter may be delayed by 48 hours due to two upcoming holidays. Efforts are underway for Sadiq to be handed over to Pakistan as quickly as possible and officials from NAB are in contact with Abu Dhabi and Interpol officials.

Sadiq is the prime accused in the OGRA corruption case and had fled from the country after the Supreme Court declared his appointment as OGRA chairman illegal and ordered NAB to arrest him.
