Controversy |
Accused of Corruption: In 2001, Sharmila Faruqui and her father Usman Faruqui, former chairman of Pakistan Steel Mills, were accused of embezzlement of Rs 195 billion from Pakistan Steel Mills and Government of Pakistan. The officers of National Accountability Bureau, Federal Investigation Agency, and Karachi Electric Supply Corporation investigated Faruqui and her family after they failed to pay electricity bills of Rs. 1 million. Later, Sharmila’s mother, Anisa Faruqui, entered into a plea bargain with NAB, under which they were disqualified from holding any public office for 21 years. |
