Railways General Manager Saeed Akhtar, who has been remanded into NAB custody for 14 days in connection with corruption allegations, has reportedly told the investigation team that all his actions were based on directives of the Minister for Railways, Ghulam Ahmed Bilour. According to reports, Akhtar is accused of corruption of billions of rupees in Pakistan Railways that included malpractices, hundreds of illegal recruitments, sale of scrap and mismanagement in railways in the last four years.
NAB sources said on Friday that Saeed Akhtar has made sensational disclosures, alleging that most of the scrap was sold to persons close to the Railways minister. It is worth mentioning that the Railways minister got approval from the prime minister for a second extension in the tenure of Saeed Akhtar. The minister has not only condemned the arrest of Saeed Akhtar but described him as a very honest official. Earlier, Accountability Court Lahore-III Judge Ali Hassan Rizvi handed over Akhtar’s custody to NAB officials.
