Weapons purchase scam in KP
PESHAWAR: The former inspector general of police (IGP) Malik Naveed Khan on Monday told the Peshawar High Court (PHC) through an application that the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) used a forged document to make cases against him.
The petitioner clubbed an affidavit with the application signed by former chairman of NAB Fasih Bukhari in which he admitted that he had not granted pardon to the approver Arshad Majeed.
Arshad Majeed was the principal accused in the multi-billion weapons purchase case. The former IGP filed the application in the writ petition through his lawyer Abdul Sattar Khan. He requested the court to make the former chairman NAB's affidavit as part of the case and form a commission to record his statement or order him to appear in person before the trial court.
It was prayed that Fasih Bukhari was ill so his statement should be immediately recorded before the court or through a commission. It was prayed in the application that the petitioner may be allowed to place on record the affidavit and photocopy of the computerised national identity card of Fasih Bukhari.
The former IGP, who is on bail in the case, has filed a petition in PHC seeking appearance of the former chairman of NAB in the case as a witness. The petitioner believed that NAB had unlawfully made Arshad Majeed an approver.
