Anti-Corruption Circle Arrests Riaz’s Beguilers in Another Land Grab Case

The case on Bahria town has lead to a halt in the establishment of perhaps the biggest residential project in the country and Malik Riaz is said to have been in and out of courts to defend himself. The project was brought to an abrupt close after it was established that the land occupied was illegal. An update to this disturbing narrative was made recently when the Anti-Corruption Circle established within Rawalpindi arrested three men who were said to have been involved in the illegal grabbing of land.

Following interrogation, allegations arose that the men were beguilers of Malik Riaz, doing his dirty work for him.

The names of the people arrested include Fazal Inam and Saeen Inam. Two other individuals, a tax officer Sohail Maqbool and a local village accountant Qazi Sajid are reportedly a part of this case. They have yet to be taken under custody. The authorities that arrested them claimed that more than 700 kanals of land was illegally transferred without any documented evidence. This land is located near Islamabad and is ostensibly worth millions of rupees. Similarly, the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) has detained Abu Bakar Dawood and Abdul Aziz Dawood; more than 70 acres of land has said to have been illegally taken under custody by the two. More so, the illegally occupied manufacturing land has been being transformed for domiciliary purposes.

Even though NAB has denied the Dawood brothers their bail, the court is now said to decide their jurisdictional incarceration.
