LAHORE: The Punjab Anti-Corruption Establishment (ACE) has launched an investigation into the Rawalpindi Ring Road scam to fix ‘criminal responsibility’ of those allegedly involved in it.
Interestingly, the ACE has launched a probe into the matter on the order of Chief Minister Usman Buzdar, whom opposition PML-N accuses of also being involved in the scam and demands constitution of a judicial commission comprising apex court judges to investigate it.
This scam sees a rare engagement of two investigation agencies – one federal (the National Accountability Bureau) and the other provincial (the ACE). The NAB last week had announced launching investigation into the matter.
