PESHAWAR (Kamran Ali Shah): The accountability court has remanded Fazil Khan, an accused in the Kohistan mega corruption scandal and director of Jalkot & Company, to the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) for an additional eight days of physical remand. The accused was presented before the Accountability Court Judge Muhammad Zafar.
The NAB prosecutor informed the court that Fazil Khan embezzled Rs5.277 billion through a private company registered in his name. These funds were illegally transferred to his accounts without any construction work being carried out as required.
According to the prosecutor, Fazil Khan opened accounts in several banks, including the National Bank Dasu Branch, Askari Bank, Habib Metro Bank, Bank Alfalah, MCB, and Faisal Bank. The prosecutor also stated that Khan, along with his associates, used this money for personal purposes.
The NAB issued a warrant for Khan’s arrest on July 8, 2025, summoning him for further investigation into the money and assets embezzled in the Kohistan scandal. While the prosecutor requested a 14-day physical remand, the court ultimately granted an eight-day remand for the accused.
