KOHISTAN: Another major development came to light in Rs 40 billion Kohistan mega corruption scandal as NAB recovered Rs 100 million from the house of mastermind Qaiser Iqbal during the operation.
Rs 100 million each was recovered during two separate operations. Earlier, Rs 1.6 billion was found in his house. The money was hidden in paint cans, which were pointed out by his arrested wife. Geo News has obtained the video of it. According to NAB, Qaiser Iqbal was posted as a clerk and later as a head clerk in the C&W Department Upper Kohistan since August 2013.
