3-Alliance director nabbed in motorbike scam case

The National Accountability Bureau’s (NAB) Balochistan chapter on Monday claimed to arrest fraudulent company 3 Alliance’s director allegedly involved in depriving people of billions of rupees in a motorbike scam a couple of years ago in Quetta.

According to sources within NAB, the arrested suspect Kamran Anjum Abidi had gone into hiding after an arrest warrant was issued against him.

However, due to hectic efforts of the anti-graft watchdog, he was apprehended from Karachi.

The accused person was produced before Quetta’s accountability court and was remanded into NAB custody for eight days.

The fraudulent company was run by Kashif Qamar, who had deprived thousands of people of their hard-earned money on the promise of providing them with new motorcycles at a fixed monthly profit.

The NAB chief, keeping in view the complaints registered by a large number of people, directed NAB Balochistan to initiate a probe against the alleged perpetrators involved in Quetta’s motorbike scam.

During the probe, it was revealed that 3-Alliance Bolan Motors (Pvt) Ltd chief Qamar and Franchise owner associated with the company had deprived thousands of people of their money.

The management of 3 Alliance also lured the general public through social media and other platforms.

After completion of investigation, NAB filed a reference against nearly two dozen people. The company through its franchises had booked thousands of bikes and issued receipts to the people who invested large sums of money with them, aimed to earn a handsome profit within a brief time period.
