The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) has detained Project Director of Tawana Pakistan Project, Irfanullah Khan, for embezzling Rs 570 million from the project.
Nutrient milk was to be provided to the schools in less developed areas under this Rs 3.6 billion initiative that was launched in 2002. After an audit was carried out in 23 different schools, 73 per cent of the school teachers revealed that the milk supplied to the schools was unhygienic and stale.
Following the report, milk samples were forwarded to Pakistan Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (PCSIR) Laboratory, which proved that the milk was not fit for human consumption.
Irfanullah, who had absconded since 2011, was one of the main accused of Rs 3.6 billion Tawana Pakistan Project (TPP) scam.
