The Punjab Assembly (PA) secretary Rai Mumtaz Hussain was detained on Saturday by the anti-corruption organisation (ACE) for false recruitments.

According to an ACE spokeswoman, former Punjab Chief Minister Parvez Elahi made 12 unlawful appointments to the grade 17, and the Assembly’s record was faked to do so. “Fake testing services were hired for the recruitment process,” he went on to say.

According to the statement, Mr Mumtaz conspired with Mr Elahi to set appointments.
