Rental power projects case: Report sought on removal of RPPs investigators check online:-
ISLAMABAD: The Supreme Court on Friday issued directives to the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) to submit a report by identifying those officials who were behind the removal of investigators in the rental power projects (RPPs) case on January 15.
A three-member bench, headed by Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry, resumed the hearing of the RPPs implementation case and asked NAB chairman Fasih Bukhari to look into the investigation of the case personally on a case-by-case basis.
During the course of the hearing, Deputy Prosecutor General NAB Fouzi Zafar said that the Director General of the top anti-graft body’s Rawalpindi office, Sobhu Sadiq, Principal Secretary NAB, Brigadier (Retd) Farooq Nasir Awan and Director General Operations Shehzad Bhatti were suspended for removing Asghar Khan from the probe. Zafar added that Khan was reinstated to the investigation in the RPPs case.
However, he informed the court that all the officials have been assigned the task to probe the matter once again.
“Instead of giving cover to corruption, NAB is supposed to eradicate it. The committed officers are being removed from the investigation,” Chief Justice Chaudhry observed. “Arrest the accused whether they are small or big,” the chief justice maintained.
