KARACHI: Assistant account officer of District Municipal Corporation (DMC) District Korangi is allegedly involved in corruption and recruiting illegally.
According to relevant sources, the Assistant Accounts Officer Absar is facing charges of serious offenses for the past four years including financial irregularities, allegations of illegal recruitment of his relatives, tampering bills, and collecting bribes in return of tenders.
In this regard, sources have revealed that the Anti-Corruption Establishment and the National Accountability Bureau have launched several investigations against him. However, due to the influence of the Assistant Account Officer, the inquires were stopped.
