LAHORE: The Higher Education Commission (HEC) on Saturday declared the post-graduation degree of National Accountability Bureau (NAB) Lahore Director General Shahzad Saleem genuine.

Quoting an HEC spokesperson, the NAB Lahore said: “The HEC on Saturday verified Mr Saleem’s degree (MSc Computer Sciences) and found it 100 per cent genuine and valid (from the Azad Jammu and Kashmir in 2000-02).”

The HEC verified his degree following an order of the Supreme Court after the media reported the degree was fake. On Dec 24, the NAB had written to the HEC regarding the verification/attestation of Mr Saleem’s degree.

The PML-N had also demanded verification of Mr Saleem’s degree and submitted a privilege motion against him in the National Assembly for conducting a “media trial” of lawmakers.
