National Accountability Bureau (NAB) officials on Wednesday arrested former Balochistan food minister Asfandyar Kakar.

According to sources, the ex-minister was arrested for alleged misappropriation of Rs292 million. He was taken into custody after a local court rejected his bail.

Investigation into the corruption case was underway since 2014.

Reports said Kakar had sold out 250,000 wheat bags of 100 KG each from the food department’s godown located in Pishin district of Balochistan.

He committed corruption in 2012 when he was serving as in-charge of the godown despite being a grade-6 employee. Kakar was given the portfolio for food ministry by former chief minister Nawab Aslam Raisani.

Asfandyar Kakar was elected as an MPA on the ticket of Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) on PB-9 from Pishin.

  1. Zirdri and Nawaz Sharif's political pholosophy, loot as much as you can, as soon as you can. No matter how much you loot, and regardless of how much power you abuse, Pakistan's brainless electorate will vote for the two parties in any event. They are both dead right, that is precisely what is borne out by the history of past elections.

  2. Non of them politicians are honest, if Primer minster is corrupt how the others can be honest. It's not only Primer minister his whole family is corrupt and money launder.
    How could be possible that others do not do corruption. If head of sate is corrupt then others follow.
