Seth Yaqoob, an accused in Haris Steel Mill scam, has agreed to pay back a sum of Rs1.5billion.
The Chief Justice of Pakistan Iftikhar Chaudhry, during hearing of the said case, remarked that “..nobody should think of escaping abroad after looting the national money”. NAB told the court that efforts were on to nab Seth Nisar, while probe also underway against all those officials who helped Sheikh Afzal’s escape abroad. Terming Hmaesh Khan’s issue as of critical importance, the CJ ordered NAB to intensify efforts to bring Hamesh back home.
He vowed to bring all those who embezzled the national money to book, adding that the innocent, if any, would be given judicial protection. The case was adjourned till January 15.
