Expanding the scope of its ongoing probe in the Toshakhana case against former premier Imran Khan, the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) investigation team has reached UAE. According to media reports, a four-member NAB team headed by Director NAB Rizwan Ahmed reached Dubai to collect crucial information regarding the sale of the precious watch gifted to former PM Imran Khan. The NAB team also visited the residence of the businessman Umar Farooq – who said he had bought the watch.

The anti-graft watchdog team also visited thePakistani embassy in UAE and some shops in regard to probe. It is pertinent to mention here that the accountability watchdog has also summoned former prime minister Imran Khan in Toshakhana case on March 9. The summon notice – forwarded to Imran Khan – mentioned six valuable watches. The iPhone gifted by Qatar’s Chief of Armed Staff is also included in the investigation. The Toshakhana issue became a major sticking point in national politics after the Election Commission of Pakistan disqualified the PTI chief for making “false statements and incorrect declaration” last month.
