Qamar Zaman resumes charge as NAB chairman

ISLAMABAD: After getting a clean chit in two cases related to NICL scam from the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) team probing the case, Qamar Zaman Chaudhry has resumed office as chairman NAB, Geo News reported Thursday.

According to the sources, Qamar Zaman had left for leaves during the investigation into the mega scam. But after being cleared by the NAB probe team in two cases related to NICL scam due to “lack of evidence”, Qamar Zaman has resumed the office today.

The probe, however, implicated former prime minister Yusuf Raza Gilani and ex- FIA DG Malik Muhammad lqbal in the case, paving way for further investigation against them.

The NAB authorities initiated investigation against all the accused in the NICL scam, including its own chairman, Qamar Zaman Chaudhry, as per the Supreme Court’s (SC) ruling on the case.
