GB CM candidate Gulbar Khan declared absconder It was recently revealed that the GB CM candidate Gulbar Khan is a declared absconder as he is wanted by the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa police.
In July 2015, Gulbar Khan was involved in a case related to a fake cheque worth Rs 2.2 million, which led to the issuance of his arrest warrants by a court in Mardan. The case was brought to court by Senator Faisal Kareem from Mardan.
It is important to note that the GB assembly elected a new CM after the disqualification of Khalid Khurshid by the regional court.
In a fake degree case, the Gilgit-Baltistan Chief Court had disqualified former chief minister Khalid Khursheed Khan from his position.
