Her husband Ahsan Jamil Gujjar has already left for the US. Farah left for Dubai on Sunday, The Express Tribune newspaper reported on Sunday.
The Opposition alleges that Farah received a huge sum of money for getting officers transferred and posted according to their choices, calling the scam the “mother of all scandals” amounting to 6 billion Pakistani rupees ($32 million).
Maryam Nawaz, the PML-N vice-president and deposed Premier Nawaz Sharif’s daughter, claimed that Farah worked at the behest of Khan and his wife. According to Maryam, Khan fears that once he is out of power, his “thefts” will be exposed.
Sacked Punjab governor Chaudhry Sarwar and Khan’s old friend also alleged that Farah had made billions in transfers.
