A video surfaced on social media on Friday in which a man, claiming to have close ties with the ruling Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leadership in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (K-P), can be seen receiving money from people inside a car for allegedly getting jobs in the government sector.
In the short video clip, the man identified as Wasif Khan, posing himself as a private assistant of a Section Officer, claimed that K-P Chief Minister Mahmood Khan and his brother Ahmad Khan have a share in the money he obtains through swindling people for the employment.
He said that for each low-level grade in the government sector, he charged Rs700,000 to Rs800,000 but out of this amount his share is only Rs25,000.
It can be seen that three other people in the car handed over a large sum of money to Wasif.
