The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) has summoned details of the properties of former president General (retd) Pervez Musharraf and his family in the ongoing prob
e against him for amassing assets beyond means and misuse of power. The orders were issued
through a notification t
o the Lahore additional district collector (revenue) in th
is regard on Saturday. The directive asked the authorities concerned to provide all record of the properties under the name of Musharraf, his wife and daughter till May 9.
On May 3, the NAB had asked former president to hand over details of vehicles registered in his and his family’s names. The authority wrote a letter t
o the Excise Department as part of its probe into Musharraf’s assets, asking for details of vehicles. According t
o the Excise Department, Musharraf’s wife is the owner of a land cruiser. In February, the Islamabad High Court (IHC) allowed an investigation against the former president. A two-member IHC bench comprising Justice Athar Minallah and Justice Miangul Hassan Aurangzeb issued the directive on a petition filed by Lt Col Inaam Rahim. Rahim had s
ought an investigation int
o the alleged corruption of the former president.
The corruption watchdog’s Rawalpindi chapter has s

o the district administration.
