ISLAMABAD: The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) launched an inquiry against Farah Khan and others in the assets beyond means case. NAB high-ups authorized an inquiry against Farah Khan.
She was accused of money laundering and maintaining various accounts through various names. According to an official statement, the director-general of NAB Lahore has been directed to conduct an inquiry into the matter as per the law, news channels reported.
The top anti-graft watchdog noted that a huge turnover amounting to Rs847 million was found in the account of the accused during the past three years, which was not “commensurate with her stated account profile.”
It further noted that the credits were received in Farah’s personal account and withdrawn within a short span.
The media reported her alleged involvement in assets beyond legal means
“Multiple adverse media reports were found where Farhat Shahzadi alias Farah Khan was alleged to be involved in assets beyond legal means,” it said. Earlier this month, Farah, a close acquaintance of former first lady Bushra Bibi, left for Dubai following the dissolution of the National Assembly in the wake of the no-trust move against former prime minister Imran Khan.
In addition to Farah, other leaders of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) had also started to leave for abroad.
