Check from Ex Chief Minister, Shah Sahab, what was his share in Sharjeel's take ?
The NAB is reluctant to include name of Owais Patti, the foster brother of Mr 10% in the matter. When power was transferred, AAZ introduced Owais Patti to Nawaz Sharif " Mian Sahib ye mera Bhai Owais Patti hai, iska khayal rakhna". Patti was included in the first Provincial cabinet and was handed over FIVE ministeries to look after. And you know what "look after" means. Nobody knows where this Patti is now.
