The anti-graft watchdog in its 9-page detailed reply submitted in Lahore High Court (LHC) has stated that Pervaiz Elahi has committed corruption by misusing his power.
Elahi remained local government minister from 1988 to 1993. During this tenure, he had illegally appointed 29 people, NAB said.
The bureau representative further stated that Elahi used his official letter head to hire these people.
According to the NAB Pervaiz Elahi along with Javed Qureshi and Dr Mushir Ahmed made illegal appointments and added that co-accused [Qureshi and Mushir Ahmed] have died.
