ISLAMABAD: The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) has registered a case against eight officials in connection with the alleged fraudulent allotment and transfer of 10 government plots in Islamabad’s Sector I-12, with the properties reportedly valued at around Rs. 300 million.
The case was registered by the FIA’s Corporate Crime Circle in Islamabad following allegations involving forged documents, misuse of authority and possible collusion in the transfer of government-owned land.
According to the First Information Report (FIR), the individuals named in the case include Afnan Alam, former Director Land Irfanullah, Latif Saeedi, Asghar Ali, Faqir Muhammad, Muhammad Athar Khan, Director Land Sidra Anwar and Sajid Aslam.
Investigation Focuses on Plot Allotments
The FIR alleges that the transfer of the 10 plots may have involved irregularities in official records and the processing of land allotments. Investigators are expected to examine the relevant documentation, approval procedures and the roles of the officials involved.
The case also refers to a previous eligibility certificate obtained by Sajid Aslam in connection with government land in Multan. Investigators suspect that the Islamabad allotments may have resulted in a possible double rehabilitation benefit. This allegation will need to be assessed as part of the investigation.
The FIR further indicates that the role of former Capital Development Authority (CDA) Member Estate Yasir Shah, along with other individuals, may also be examined.
Questions Over Government Land Transfers
The case brings attention to the procedures used to allocate and transfer public land. Government plots are subject to official eligibility requirements, documentation and approval processes, making accurate records and compliance with applicable rules essential.
The investigation is expected to establish how the allotments were processed, whether the required procedures were followed and whether any individuals were responsible for alleged irregularities.
Investigation to Determine Responsibility
The registration of the case marks the beginning of legal proceedings and does not establish the guilt of those named. The allegations remain unproven, and responsibility will depend on the evidence gathered by investigators and the outcome of the legal process.
Further findings from the FIA investigation may clarify how the disputed transfers occurred and whether any official rules were violated.
