ISLAMABAD – The Court of Inquiry formed to probe into alleged malpractices in the National Logistic Cell has submitted its findings, opinion and recommendations to the chief of army staff for his consideration and perusal.
The Court of Inquiry formed by COAS General Ashfaq Kayani to probe the NLC scam was headed by a serving corps commander along with two major generals as members. It was the National Assembly’s Public Account Committee (PAC) that in its recent meeting took notice of involvement of several senior army officers in the NLC scandal while recommending action against them.
