NAB summons Imran, Shahbaz

ISLAMABAD: The National Accountability Bureau (NAB), Peshawar, has summoned the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan while the NAB Lahore summoned former Punjab chief minister, PML-N President, Shahbaz Sharif.

Imran has been summoned in the helicopter case on July 18 and Shahbaz in the Pak Power case on July 16.

The Chairman NAB Justice (retd) Javed Iqbal had directed the NAB KP director general in February to conduct an inquiry into the alleged use of the former chief minister's official helicopter by Imran. He was directed to ascertain how the chief minister handed his official helicopter over to someone else and find out if the same practice was also committed by others.

The former Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government spent millions of rupees on Imran's use of the provincial government's helicopter. Earlier, NAB had summoned former KP chief minister Pervez Khattak in the case.
