ISLAMABAD: The National Accountability Bureau Rawalpindi arrested accused Haji Imam Din in National Fertilizer Marketing Limited (NFML) case.

M/s Inam & Co is registered with National Fertilizer Marketing Limited (NFML). Accused Haji Imam Din s/o Haji Sahib Din Marwat is the real owner of M/s Inam and Co. The accused was Cartage Contractor and was responsible for transportation of urea from different ports to stores of NFML.

The accused in connivance with co-accused Inamud Din, Afaqud Din and Uzair Abu Bakar misappropriated 13666.4 metric tons urea worth Rs 573988800/- (plus penalties to be imposed by NFML) from 31-5-2012 to 6-6-2013.

The accused got allocations of urea from NFML and lifted the same from Karachi Port, Bin Qasim Port and Gwadar Port. He did not deliver the urea to NFML rather sold the same in open market at higher rates.

He deliberately kept himself hidden away since 2013 and did not join the investigation proceedings. The accused has been arrested on Saturday and presented before the Accountability Court Islamabad for physical remand.
