Raja Pervez Ashraf, Shaukat Tareen indicted in RPP case
By Dawn.com
ISLAMABAD: An accountability court in Islamabad on Tuesday indicted former prime minister Raja Pervez Ashraf and 11 others in the rental power project case, DawnNews reported.
Former finance minister Shaukat Tareen, former federal secretaries Ismail Qureshi and Shahid Rafi were also among those indicted in the case of alleged corruption in the Sahuwal and Piranghaib rental power projects.
Today's indictment came about when accountability court judge Muhammad Bashir dismissed pleas filed by Tareen and Qureshi request that their names be dropped from the case.
Not only did the court dismissed their pleas, the two were among the 12 indicted in the case.
Subsequently, the court adjourned the hearing to June 20 and directed NAB to provide evidence and witnesses against the indicted.
NAB has been investigating 12 RPPs cases in which nine firms reportedly received more than Rs22 billion as mobilisation advance from the government to commission the projects, but most of them were accused of failing to set up plants.
The bureau has already recovered Rs13 billion in the case.
