In a surprise move on Friday, National Accountability Bureau (NAB) Lahore arrested former federal minister Kamran Michael in a case of misuse of authority, ARY News reported.
Michael, who remained federal minister for ports and shipping in the last tenure of Pakistan Muslim League-N (PML-N), is charged with allotting plots of Karachi Port Trust (KPT) to his favourite persons.
The former minister was summoned several times by the NAB, however, he failed to satisfy the investigators, said a NAB spox.
The arrest was a joint operation by NAB’s Karachi and Lahore circles who obtained his arrest warrants from the Chairman NAB Justice (retd.) Javed Iqbal.
He is expected to be shifted to Karachi soon.
