Furthermore, the total amount of all the claims of the affected persons was handed over to the OPF for disbursement among them, but nothing happened after that.
National Accountability Bureau also took up the case and recovered the amount which was to be disbursed amongst the affected people but due to unknown reasons the bureau could not distribute the amount.
