Pak anti-graft body seizes cash, gold worth from top official

Currency and gold worth Rs730 million were today seized from the residence of a top government official in Pakistan's southwestern Balochistan province.

The huge amount of money and gold were seized during a raid at the residence of provincial finance secretary Mushtaq Ahmed Raisani by the National Accountability Bureau (NAB).

During the raid, officials found bags filled with local and foreign currency and gold from the house.

Earlier today, Raisani was arrested on corruption charges.

He was arrested during a raid at his office after he was been accused of embezzling billions of rupees from government development funds.
