Feeling the situation, the NAB officer slowed down his car but the chaser kept on following him, he however, turned to Marquees of E-11 at Margalla Road, the chaser also turned his vehicle to the Marquees and kept on following him till he parked his car in front of shop, while, the chaser hesitantly turned his car to a street, next to the shop, said in the FIR.
