CDA member along with a property dealer fraudulently allocated 62 plots in Sector I-15 of Islamabad using fake reports
ISLAMABAD: The Anti-Money Laundering Cell of Islamabad has apprehended former Capital Development Authority (CDA) Member Afnan Alam and property dealer Jabbar in connection with a significant corruption scandal. The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) officials reported that Alam, who previously served as a Member Estate at the CDA, was implicated in a scheme that resulted in a staggering loss of over Rs1 billion to the national treasury and rightful property owners.
Afnan Alam, along with other CDA staff, was involved in the illegal allocation of 62 plots in Sector I-15, Islamabad, to ineligible individuals. This fraudulent activity has caused a substantial financial loss of one billion rupees. Jabbar, the arrested property dealer, was also found to be complicit in the scam.
In addition to the plot allocation scandal, Afnan Alam faces further legal troubles. He has a case registered against him at the Corporate Crime Circle in Islamabad, where he is accused of accumulating illegal assets in both his and his wife’s names. These assets were reportedly invested in properties in Sector G-14, using funds obtained through corrupt practices.
The investigation into corruption continues to reveal widespread fraud. On July 15, it was uncovered that Bilal Travel, a private transport company, embezzled Rs288 million in collusion with officials from the Directorate of Municipal Administration (DMA). The fraud involved Haji Nawaz and Amjad, owners of Bilal Travel, who secured a contract worth Rs96 million per annum to operate the Diplomatic Enclave Bus Service.
This service, initiated by the CDA, was meant to facilitate citizens visiting the embassies within the Diplomatic Enclave. The embezzlement was facilitated by alleged negligence and conspiracy by DMA officials, exacerbating the financial damage to the city’s infrastructure and services. The ongoing investigations highlight the extent of corruption within key administrative bodies and underscore the need for stringent oversight and accountability measures.
