National Accountability Bureau (NAB) Chairman Justice Javed Iqbal has ordered conducting investigations of the two cases of Sindh Food Department, including physical verification of wheat stock and anomalies in the distribution of wheat from district Ghotki to Karachi region.
Chairman NAB had directed director general NAB, Sukkur to investigate both the cases and government funds misappropriated by some unscrupulous elements should be recovered.

Furthermore NAB, Sukkur had also deposited Rs 10 billion in national exchequer after recovering directly or indirectly from corrupt elements in wheat scam, which is big achievement of Sukkur.
