Rawalpindi National Accountability Bureau (NAB) has filed a corruption reference worth the RS998,86 million against the widow after the former Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Divisional Vice President Haji Gulzar Awan.

The late PPP leader, who died four years ago, had previously founded the Pakistan Aman Party, which was later merged into PPP.

Nab has accused his widow, Azra Gulzar Awan, of being involved in a housing scheme with her late husband.

According to the investigation, the couple lured citizens to buy low cost diagrams in two housing communities, allegedly pocket millions in the process.

Several complainants, including Amir Mukhtan and others, filed petitions against them, causing Nab to intervene.

The corruption reference was filed in a Rawal Pindi Responsibility Court, and control is set for Monday.

After this, the case will be presented to Judge Muhammad Akmal Khan and expected to be issued.

However, Azra Gulzar Awan has denied the allegations and claimed she had no involvement in her husband’s business relationship.

“I am a housewife. I have never interfered with my husband’s business, nor did I visit any office or dealt with land transactions. I am false implicated,” she said. She also questioned the time of the case and pointed out that years have passed since her husband’s death, and only now this alleged corruption has emerged.
