KARACHI: The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) on Saturday filed a reference in an accountability court against four government officials and a builder involved in china-cutting and illegal allotment of 16 acres of land in Scheme 33 pf Gulzar-e-Hijri.
The court accepted the reference for hearing. During the course of hearing, the court issued non-bailable arrest warrants for builder Ahmed Zuhair Madni, who is absconder in the case.
The court issued directives to produce the builder on September 8 by arresting him.
