ISLAMABAD: Federal Interior Minister Chaudhary Nisar Ali Khan has officially ordered the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) to conduct an inquiry against former chairman of theNational Database and Registration Authority (Nadra), Imtiaz Tajwer, who is the present deputy chairman of NAB, for alleged misuse of funds during his tenure.

Nisar also made mandatory clearance of all Nadra DGs from the ISI and IB.The minister has also ordered the FIA to arrest the four officers of FIA who had earlier conducted an inquiry into the allegations against Tajwer but allegedly succumbed to the pressures from the officer against whom the inquiry was being done, well-placed sources told The News.

Ch Nisar Ali Khan visited the Nadra headquarters on Friday and took a strong exception to financial embezzlements in Nadra, which have gone unchecked and even the FIA probes could not indict the alleged culprits.A press release issued by the Ministry of Interior states that Ch Nisar Ali Khan has ordered an inquiry against Imtiaz Tajwer. The FIA has been tasked to conduct this inquiry.
