PESHAWAR: The National Accountability Bureau, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa has arrested a former district officer revenue, Mensehra, for allegedly making illegal assets worth millions of rupees. 

A NAB statement issued here on Tuesday said that the suspect, Latif-ur-Rehman, who is currently posted as programme manager of district reconstruction unit of PERRA, at Besham, held various public offices in the revenue department in Mansehra and Hairpur, and accumulated huge assets which in no way were compatible to his status as he belonged to a mediocre family.

During the course of inquiry it was revealed that Latif-ur-Rehman accumulated illegally a bungalow in Habibullah Colony, Abbottabad, one kanal plot in Regi Model Town, Peshawar, and a two Kanal commercial plot in Azakhel Nowshera.
