MULTAN: National Accountability Bureau (NAB) Multan has authorised investigation against former MPA Malik Muhammad Rafiq Khan over fraudulent allotment of 4,622 kanals of state land and 1,000 kanals of private land in Kot Addu Tehsil. Rafiq Khan is the nephew of former Punjab governor Malik Ghulam Mustafa Khar.

A press release issued by NAB stated an investigation was initiated on the allegations of misappropriation and illegal allotment of state land measuring 4,622 kanals in favour of the ex-MPA’s sons and associates. The accused managed the illegal allotment with the connivance of revenue officers through bogus evacuee claims in Kot Addu Tehsil, Muzaffargarh.

Ex-EDO Ghulam Akbar Khan Khich and other officials of revenue department facilitated the accused in illegal allotment of state land. Furthermore, illegalities were also observed in transfer of 1,000 kanal of private land in Mouza Shadi Khan Munda through forgery in land record documents.

Meanwhile, NAB also initiated inquiry against an accused Waqas Arshad for his involvement in cheating the general public and taking money from them for investment purposes.
