Last year, the massive corruption of Rs13 billion was unearthed in NADRA.

Public Accounts Committee (PAC) Chairman Noor Alam Khan had informed the committee that a huge sum of Rs13 billion had been embezzled under the guise of the purchase of NADRA smart card and census tablets.

The PAC chairman had then disclosed that the NADRA chief had resigned from his post and the Interior Secretary was told to suspend all the officers involved in corruption.

As per Noor Alam, he had been informed about the corruption in NADRA through a letter he shared with the committee member and media persons. As per the letter, former NADRA chairman Tariq Malik had appointed his favourite persons in the authority.

Earlier, Tariq Malik was under investigation by the Federal Investigation Agency for his alleged involvement in the corruption scandal.
