LAHORE: Former chief minister Usman Buzdar on Friday appeared before the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) in income-beyond-means case and recorded his statement.

Mr Buzdar appeared before a joint investigation team of the bureau after securing a protective bail and responded to its queries.

The NAB sought details of his and his relatives’ assets, especially the luxurious cars. There are allegations that Mr Buzdar’s and his relatives’ assets swelled when he was the chief minister.

On the other hand, the Anti-Corruption Establishment (ACE) has reopened the ‘dropped’ inquiries against Buzdar. The ACE is probing allegations against Buzdar for taking bribes in transfers and postings.
