The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) on Monday stated that it had completed its probe against three retired military and two civilian officials in the case pertaining to alleged fraudulent allotment of 141 kanals of Pakistan Railways land in Lahore to the management of the Royal Palm Golf Club.
A spokesman for the NAB said the bureau had recorded statements of five officials -- Lt-Gen (Retd) Javed Ashraf Qazi, Lt-Gen (Retd) Saeeduz Zafar, Maj-Gen (Retd) Hamid Hassan Butt, Khursheed Ahmad Khan, former finance member, and Iqbal Samad Khan, ex-general manager (operations) of Pakistan Railways.
