National Accountability Bureau (NAB) has authorized an inquiry against Farhat Shahzadi, known as Farah Khan, and others on the allegations of accumulation of illegal assets beyond known sources of income, money laundering and maintaining various accounts in the name of different businesses.
According to the official statement, director general NAB Lahore has been directed to conduct an inquiry in this matter as per law. A turnover amounting to Rs847 million has been found in Farah Khan’s account during the last three years, which is not commensurate with her stated account profile. These credits were received in her personal account and withdrawn immediately after credit within a short time period.
Moreover, while reviewing the income tax returns of Farhat Shahzadi, it was allegedly observed that her assets had significantly increased from the year 2018 onwards for unknown reasons and she had also been frequently travelling to foreign countries. She has travelled nine times to the USA and six times to the UAE.
