It is worth noting that in its Executive Board Meeting held in Islamabad on Thursday, the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) had decided to file a reference against Asad Munir along with the former top Officials of CDA for allegedly abusing their powers to restore a plot in F-11 Sector Islamabad while violating rules and regulations.
The sources said that Asad Munir was very upset with the news about the NAB reference against him, and he committed the suicide in protest against the harassment by the accountability watchdog.
