ISLAMABAD – Federal Minister for Information Attaullah Tarar has made serious allegations against Bahria Town, claiming the real estate giant is involved in laundering over Rs1.12 billion through illegal money channels.
Speaking on Wednesday, Tarar said the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) unearthed evidence of large-scale financial misconduct, including illegal fund transfers via hawala and hundi. According to him, when FIA teams arrived to investigate, an attempt was made to burn critical documents—a move he described as an effort to cover up wrongdoing.
In a startling revelation, the minister said a hospital within Bahria Town was used as a cover for the illegal operations. Hidden cash and documents were recovered from the facility, and some were being transported in an ambulance when caught, he added.
The minister noted that the individuals involved had links to the Bahria Town administration and were frequently in touch with two key figures, Imran and Qaiser Amin, allegedly central to the hawala network.
A forensic audit is currently underway, and officials expect more damning evidence to come to light in the coming days.
