Punjab National Accountability Bureau (NAB) on Tuesday distributed pay orders amounting to 23 percent of Rs 33.5 million to 32 affectees of the Sheikh Muhammad Sultan, alias Sanatha Gang, case, as first instalments from the money recovered from the accused through a plea bargain.
A simple ceremony took place at the Punjab NAB Complex, Thokar Niaz Baig, Multan Road, Lahore in this regard. Punjab NAB Director General (DG) Khurshid Anwar Bhindar advised the recipients not to foolishly invest hard-earned money in greed of attractive profits, jobs or other incentives. Punjab NAB had initiated an enquiry against Sanatha Gang in 2009 and arrested seven accused persons; Sheikh Sultan, Naseer Ahmed, Munir Ahmad, Rafique Ahmad, M Aamir, Mohsin Raza and M Shafique in December 2009 on the complaint of 32 affectees. The accused had misappropriated Rs 33.5 million from the unsuspecting public through an elaborate scheme.
