The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) has escalated the Kohistan corruption case from an inquiry to a full-scale investigation, uncovering one of the largest corruption scandals in recent years. In its latest crackdown, NAB recovered and froze assets worth over Rs25 billion.
The operation led to the arrest of contractor Muhammad Ayub, whose interrogation exposed suspicious financial links with powerful individuals. Authorities seized over Rs1 billion in cash, foreign currency, and three kilograms of gold during the operation.
As part of the investigation, NAB froze 73 bank accounts, resulting in the recovery of Rs5 billion. The bureau also confiscated 77 luxury vehicles—collectively valued at more than Rs940 million.
In a sweeping asset recovery effort, NAB seized numerous high-value properties, including:
- 30 residential houses
- 25 flats
- 12 commercial plazas
- 12 shops
- 4 farmhouses
- Several penthouses
- 175 kanals of agricultural land
These properties were located across Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Peshawar, Abbottabad, and Mansehra, with an estimated value exceeding Rs17 billion.
The NAB investigation continues, with further arrests and asset freezes expected in the coming weeks as officials work to dismantle what they call a “deeply rooted network of corruption.”
