The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa has summoned provincial lawmaker Dr Amjad Ali for questioning in an inquiry into alleged unexplained assets and suspected corruption.
Dr Amjad Ali, a member of the provincial assembly and special assistant to the chief minister on housing, must appear at NAB’s Hayatabad office in Peshawar on Tuesday, October 20.
According to the bureau, investigators launched the inquiry after receiving a complaint. However, the allegations remain under investigation and do not establish wrongdoing.
NAB Seeks Property and Financial Records
NAB has issued five notices in connection with the inquiry. Besides Dr Amjad Ali, the bureau has summoned four people as witnesses: Bacha Syed, Muhammad Arif Shah, Siraj Ahmad and Naveed Ahmad.
The witnesses must appear between October 20 and 22 to provide statements and relevant documents.
Meanwhile, NAB has requested property records from housing societies. These records include details of plot allotments, ownership and payments linked to Eighteen Housing Society in Islamabad and the Jalozai Housing Scheme.
The bureau has also asked the Accountant General of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa to provide Dr Amjad Ali’s salary records, allowances, benefits and travel expenses.
Furthermore, NAB has warned that failure to comply with its notices could lead to legal action.
Peshawar High Court Earlier Directed NAB Not to Harass Him
The latest inquiry follows earlier court proceedings involving Dr Amjad Ali. In March 2026, the Peshawar High Court directed NAB to follow the law and avoid harassing him in connection with an assets case.
During that hearing, his lawyer, Bashir Wazir, told the court that Ali had already submitted records of his assets to the bureau. He argued that further notices, despite earlier court directions, amounted to harassment.
However, NAB’s special prosecutor, Arbab Kaleemullah, told the court that the bureau had not issued a call-up notice to Ali at that time. Instead, officials had summoned a female relative and a close associate as witnesses.
The prosecutor alleged that some assets registered in their names actually belonged to Ali but remained undeclared.
The two-member bench, comprising Justice Syed Arshad Ali and Justice Qazi Jawad Ehsanullah, directed NAB to proceed according to the law. It also said Ali could approach the court again if he believed the bureau was harassing him.
