The Anti-Corruption Establishment has filed a case against a Faisalabad Industrial Estate Development & Management Company (FIEDMC) assistant manager for allegedly embezzling the budget for lights installed on electric poles.
A budget of Rs182 million was kept for installing lights on 1,200 poles in the FIEDMC Industrial Area, while the inspection of the lights installed on the poles revealed that copper wires were not used during the installation of the lights and only Rs121 million has been paid out of the budget.
Defective lights have been installed in FIEDMC due to the alleged irresponsibility and corruption of Assistant Manager Tauseef Akram.
A case has been registered against the accused and action has been initiated.
Meanwhile, the Anti-Corruption Department has registered cases and launched a search for ten individuals, including three private employees, a former SHO of Saddar police station, an ASI, and a Moharrar, on charges of embezzling a pickup vehicle tampering with official documents, and taking a bribe from a citizen.
The case was registered through the court at the Anti-Corruption police station on the complaint of Aamir Iqbal, a resident of Faisal Valley, Canal Road, who holds Canadian nationality. According to the FIR, Aamir Iqbal's Revo pickup (No. 1559) was impounded at Saddar police station.
On January 27, the area magistrate of Saddar police station jurisdiction approved the vehicle's release upon the submission of a surety bond.
After submitting the bond, Aamir approached the former SHO and Moharrar of Saddar police station, who directed him to meet ASI Tanveer in this matter.
However, the ASI, in collusion with others, handed over his vehicle to a private individual, Rana Danish Khan, to attend a wedding, after which the vehicle was not returned.
The accused police officers, in collusion with Rana Danish Khan, misappropriated the vehicle by exceeding their authority. Following an investigation, the Anti-Corruption Department registered a case under sections 409, 5/2/47 of the Pakistan Penal Code (PPC) and initiated proceedings.
In another case, Saqib Jahangir, a resident of Saleemi Park, Lahore Road, Jaranwala, who is a school teacher, accused Sub-Inspector Ajmal Baig, ASI Iqbal, Naib Court, and other officials of converting a family dispute case into a criminal case.
The police officers, in collusion with private individuals Adnan Aslam and Faisal Aslam, filed a case against three government employees, Saqib Jahangir, Majid Jahangir, and Ayaz Aqeel and unlawfully applied section 452 of the Pakistan Penal Code (PPC) in the FIR.
They also tampered with the supplementary challan before submitting it to the court. Due to this manipulation of official records, the Anti-Corruption Department registered a case against the accused officers.
In a separate incident, Naveed Arshad, a resident of Madina Town, accused ASI Shehzad Arif of taking a bribe of Rs31,000 in exchange for the return of his stolen motorcycle.
ASI Shehzad Arif allegedly demanded bribes at different times, promising to return the motorcycle, but ultimately failed to do so.
Upon inquiry, the allegations were proven, and the Anti-Corruption Department registered a case against the accused and initiated a search for them.
