The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) arrested Begum Salma Ahmed, a former member of the National Assembly from Karachi, on Monday in a misappropriation case of Rs 13.30 million. An NAB spokesman said that Ms Ahmed was arrested on the basis of a complaint submitted by the Export Promotion Bureau (EPB) against her regarding the allocation of Rs 13.30 million by the Export Development Fund (EDF) for setting up a "Fashion Design Technology Centre". As president of the Pakistan Association of Women Entrepreneurs, Ms Ahmed founded the Association of Entrepreneurs Limited Company, which was also registered to run the "Fashion Design Technology Centre". The spokesman said that Ms Ahmed did not set up the centre even after the release of the money by the EDF. She also did not return the money to the EPB even after the lapse of several years. The money was released during the government of former prime minister Mian Nawaz Sharif.
