NAB employees continue strike on third day

LAHORE: The employees of National Accountability Bureau (NAB) are protesting the death of their colleague Kamran Faisal on the third consecutive day and the Punjab office presented a deserted look Wednesday, Geo News reported.

According to sources, the employees were asking the visitors to come later as they were not discharging their duties to protest the death of their deceased assistant director, Kamran Faisal.

Sources also told that the NAB Punjab officers and other employees had reached Islamabad last night due to the hearing of the case.

Neither any case has been registered into the mysterious death of Kamran Faisal nor has a notification been issued regarding the formation of a commission to probe the matter despite the lapse of six days.

Kamran Faisal, who was investigating Rs22 billion rental power scam, was found hanging from ceiling fan in his official residence at Federal Lodges on January 18 in mysterious circumstances.

NAB employees in Peshawar, Islamabad and Quetta had been protesting over the mysterious death of their colleague and rejected a commission formed by the government to probe the issue.

According to media reports, the officer was under tremendous pressure with regard to the RPPs case and had requested the Supreme Court to detach him from the high profile case.

His family said that Kamran Faisal was murdered as the officer could not have committed suicide.
