ISLAMABAD: Former federal minister for science and technology Fawad Chaudhry was released from Adiala Jail in Rawalpindi late Friday night.
Hiba Chaudhry, wife of the former leader of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), verified her husband’s release in a post on X, (Twitter), along with a photo.
The National Accountability Bureau had accused him of receiving “illegal gratification” from a contractor in the Lilla-Pind Dadan Khan-Jhelum dual carriageway project.
The bureau also accused him of approving a petrol pump along the dual carriageway road project “for his personal interest” and misusing his authority and influence to help his relatives and others with the purchase of land along the dual carriageway.
During the case hearing, Qaiser Imam, the attorney representing Fawad Chaudhry, appeared before the court.
It is important to remember that Fawad Chaudhry was placed under judicial detention at Adiala jail in connection with a NAB-filed Jhelum property case.
