NAB summons Ahsan Iqbal today in Narowal Sports City case

ISLAMABAD: The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) Rawalpindi chapter has summoned Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader and former interior minister, Ahsan Iqbal on Wednesday (today), in a probe related to Sports City.

Iqbal is accused of starting the project worth Rs3 billion illegally. Pakistan Sports Board is also accused of illegally using its authority for the construction of this project.

The anti-graft watchdog body is continuing probe into the matter and has summoned PML-N senior leader Ahsan Iqbal to appear before it today.

Last year, NAB had announced that it would initiate a probe into alleged violation of rules in the construction of the National Sports City project – just a day after its inauguration by the then President of Pakistan Mamnoon Hussain.
