The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) on Thursday denied that a series of audio clips aired by a private TV channel have anything to do with its chairman Javed Iqbal, branding them “baseless, fake and based on lies”.
The bureau was referring to some footage and a few audio clips — first aired by News One — in which a male can be heard talking to a woman, and making inappropriate remarks at various points.
While the TV channel linked the male voice with the NAB chairman, the corruption watchdog has vehemently denied the allegation, labelling it “the propaganda of a blackmailers’ group”.
The bureau, in its press release, said that the purpose of the audio clips was to “damage the goodwill of NAB and its chairman”.
