National Accountability Bureau (NAB) Chairman Aftab Sultan has resigned from the post over pressure in corruption case, Dunya News reported on Tuesday.

Sources said Mr Sultan had informed Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif about his resignation while the latter is yet to take the decision on it. He said the unacceptable demands being made to him forced him to quit the job. He had also reservations over intervention in the accountability process.



In July last, the federal cabinet approved his appointment as head of the anti-graft watchdog. He had replaced former NAB chief retired Justice Javed Iqbal.

Aftab Sultan had joined the police force as assistant superintendent of police (ASP) in 1977. He has also worked in the Special Branch for 8 years. Besides this, he has served as DIG Elite Force.

He was regional police officer (RPO) of Sargodha in former president Pervez Musharraf’s tenure and later served as the chief of the Intelligence Bureau (IB) during the tenure of former prime minister Nawaz Sharif.
