KARACHI: A team of National Accountability Bureau (NAB) officials on Friday raided the National Institute of Cardiovascular Diseases (NICVD) in Karachi.

A team of five members from the bureau examined records of NICVD’s accounts, administration and OPD blocks, ARY News reported.

The NAB team examined records at the hospital’s HR department, which were later taken into the custody by the anti-graft body.

Earlier this month, Chief Justice of Pakistan Mian Saqib Nisar made surprise visits to three hospitals in Karachi, including NICVD.

At NICVD hospital, the top judge also examined the room of Omni Group Head Anwar Majeed, who is accused in a money laundering scam and undergoing medical treatment at the hospital.

Anwar Majeed’s son Abdul Ghani Majeed, co-accused in the money laundering through fake bank accounts case, is also being treated at the Jinnah Medial hospital.

On September 11, a banking court, hearing the money laundering case, had summoned the doctor of the hospital who issued medical certificates to the accused Anwar Majeed and Abdul Ghani Majeed.

Anwar Majeed and his son excused from the appearance, before the court, on the basis of medical certificates issued by Doctor Nosheen Iqbal.

During the hearing, the court issued notices to the doctor and the jail superintendent who failed to produce the accused father and son before the court.

The jail officials informed the court that they went to bring the accused from the hospital but the respective doctor issued medical certificates citing that both, Anwar Majeed and Abdul Ghani Majeed, are unwell.
