\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

An accountability court in Islamabad on Wednesday remanded former federal minister Fawad Chaudhry in the custody of the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) for 10 days in a case related to the alleged irregularities in the Jhelum to Pind Dadan Khan dual carriageway project.<\/p>\n

NAB officials presented Fawad before Judge Muhammad Bashir after acquiring his custody from Adiala Jail, where he was presently incarcerated.<\/p>\n

The NAB prosecutor told the court that on November 10, 2023, the inquiry of the project was started, but Fawad refused to be included in the investigation.<\/p>\n
