The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) on Saturday has initiated an inquiry against the former chief minister of Punjab Shehbaz Sharif for owning assets beyond his means.

According to the media reports, NAB while investigating Shehbaz in the Ashiana Housing scam started inquiring him about owning assets beyond his declared means.

Shehbaz has so far feigned ignorance regarding most of the things asked, the sources added.

The PML-N president is currently in NAB custody in the Ashiana Iqbal housing scheme case. On October 6, the PML-N leader appeared before NAB to record his statement in the Punjab Saaf Pani Company case.

Shehbaz Sharif was arrested after Fawad Hasan Fawad, the then implementation secretary, told NAB that he carried out all the activities in projects of Punjab on orders from Shehbaz.

NAB had also collected information in this regard from Fawad Hasan’s laptop, from which data was retrieved after his arrest.
