Islamabad (Pakistan Point News – 3rd August, 2018) The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) has summoned Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan on August 7 in an ongoing inquiry against his alleged misuse of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government's helicopters.

"Imran used two helicopters belonging to the KP government for a total of 74 hours," NAB officials said.

“Statements of KP CM Pervez Khattak and aviation authorities in the case have been recorded,” the NAB official said.

On February 2, the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) chairman Justice (r) Javed Iqbal directed KP Director General (DG) of the bureau to lodge an inquiry into use of KP government’s helicopter by the PTI chairman in personal capacity.

Khan is alleged of graft for using government’s resources for personal visits. NAB quoted a report today stating that Khan used MI-17 helicopter for around 22 hours and Ecureuil copter for some 52 hours.

The NAB already recorded statements of the former KP Chief Minister Pervez Khattak and four senior bureaucrats including three administrative secretaries in the said case.

The NAB Chairman had authorized the inquiry into the case following reports in the media. The chopper was used by the PTI supremo from Bani Gala to Kohat, Peshawar, Mardan, Batagram, Dir, Kumrat valley and other areas.
