According to the NAB sources, the plot was allotted during the tenure of former DG Parks Liaquat Qaimkhani through China cutting. The value of the plot is said to be around rs.800mn.

The widow and her family become shocked after seeing the summon of the bureau. Talking to ARY News, the woman said, a notice under her name has been received by the NAB, but the plot is not her property.
