ISLAMABAD: The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) has returned over Rs6 billion to the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government in a multi-billion-rupee fraud case in Upper Kohistan.
An inquiry authorised by NAB in April 2024 revealed large-scale misappropriation of public funds in Upper Kohistan.
Investigators established that more than Rs37bn had been embezzled through manipulation of treasury instruments and misuse of official financial procedures over nearly a decade.
The funds were recovered following an extensive investigation by NAB’s KP director general and a Combined Investigation Team (CIT).
