NAB initiates inquiry against father of Abid Sher Ali

LAHORE: The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) has initiated an inquiry against former Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz MNA Chaudhry Sher Ali, father of Abid Sher Ali, ARY News reported on Monday, citing sources.

The former lawmaker is accused of abusing his authority as MNA.

Sources privy to the development stated that Chaudhry Sher Ali is accused of giving government-owned land on favoritism.

It was learnt that a textile mill was established on the 800 kanal land of the Punjab government by the private persons on the lease, which was later shut down.

The non-transparency in the lease caused financial loss to the national exchequer, sources said.
