ISLAMABAD — A High court lawyer Abdul Waqeel Minhas has lodged a complaint with the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) accusing Dr Arsalan Iftikhar Chaudhry, son of Chief Justice Iftikhar Mohammad Chaudhry, of corruption and abuse of power to seek senior position in police service.
Minhas asked the NAB chairman to order an inquiry under articles 27, 25 and 178 of the Constitution and NAB laws.
The plaintiff says that Dr Arsalan, using his influential position, went to the Federal Investigation Agency on deputation and later joined the police as an ASP, though he was only a doctor.
He reportedly gave CSS examinations twice but failed, getting only 16 out of 100 marks in English.
A case against Dr Arsalan is also pending in the Balochistan High Court.
