On the other hand, the meeting of NAB executive board held with the chair of NAB chairman Justice retired Javed Iqbal and issue of arrest of alleged suspects in mega corruption cases came under discussion.

Addressing to officials, Chairman NAB vowed that NAB did not believe in biased action but follow the random action on the basis of concrete evidence and as per law as their arrest will be made accordingly.“NAB arrests the alleged accused after reviewing their involvement in serious crimes, their role, reasons of arrest, fear of accused escape to abroad and other legal aspects,” he clarified adding that on the basis of said points accountability court grant remand for further investigation.
