F.P. Report

LAHORE: Details of the allegations against Muhammad Khan Bhatti, principal secretary to former Punjab chief minister Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi, have emerged, on Saturday.

According to the National Accountability Bureau’s (NAB) report on kickbacks allegedly received by Bhatti, Elahi and Moonis Elahi, Elahi’s son, the ex-principal secretary, in connivance with other suspects in the case, got illegal development schemes approved, and in order to receive commission got contracts for these schemes awarded to his favourites.

The report further says that Bhatti has been found involved in corrupt practices, and has caused loss to the national exchequer.

Similarly, the report further claims that the former principal secretary got benefits by getting his blue-eyed boys posted in Gujrat.

Bhatti is presently in the NAB’s custody on five-day judicial remand.

An accountability court (AC) has already sought a report from the NAB on the investigation done in the case so far. 

An AC had yesterday (Friday) handed over Mu­hammad Khan Bhatti, principal secretary to former Punjab chief minister Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi, who had been taken into custody five days ago, to the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) on five-day physical remand in the case of receiving kickbacks in development projects.
