The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) has started an investigation against Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) leader and former leader of the opposition in the National Assembly Khursheed Shah for “owning assets beyond means”.
According to sources in the bureau, NAB Sukkur had contacted various institutions and sought details of Shah’s assets along with the PPP leader’s son and son-in-law, who have been included in the probe.
