An accountability court on Wednesday awarded five years jail term and fined Rs 1 million to Rao Abdul Jalil, father of former Haj DG Rao Shakeel, in a land fraud reference.
However, the court acquitted former Haj DG in the case.
The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) filed the reference in 2007 wherein it was submitted that Jalil got transferred a plot of 208 kanals situated in Sheikhupura through fake documents in his name. The NAB also alleged that former Haj DG also aided his father in the matter.
Lahore Accountability Court-II Judge Muhammad Falek Sher after hearing arguments awarded five years jail term and fined Rs 1 million to Jalil but acquitted Shakeel.
