Islamabad: The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) has launched an investigation against the brother of former army chief General (Retd) Ashfaq Parvez Kayani over his alleged role in a Rs17 billion Defence Housing Authority (DHA) City Lahore scam.
The DHA City project was launched in 2009 primarily to accommodate and facilitate the families of "shuhada (martyrs), war wounded and soldiers of Pakistan armed forces by allotting them small size plots in recognition of their services for the country."
Kayani's brother Kamran Kayani of Elysium Holding and Hammad Arshad of Globaco offered their services to facilitate DHA Lahore to carry out the project by acquiring land.
However, they failed to deliver the plots to soldiers and families of martyers and public even after six years. According to officials, the housing authority accepted the offer in good faith. However, Kamran and Hammad "played dirty" and embezzled the hard earned money of the public, they said.
