Following orders from Additional District and Sessions Judge Farhat Jabeen, Civil Lines police registered a case following an inquiry into the submission of fake surety bonds in various sessions, civil, and special courts across Rawalpindi.
The inquiry revealed that fake property documents were being used to secure the release of accused individuals on bail.
During the investigation, a fugitive who had been granted bail based on one such fake surety bond was also arrested. Police have now launched a crackdown and begun conducting raids to arrest others involved in submitting forged documents.
The case in question was a murder trial under way in Judge Farhat Jabeen's court, titled State vs Inayatullah, registered at New Town Police Station. The accused had been granted bail by the Lahore High Court (LHC) on two surety bonds worth Rs2 million each. The bonds were submitted by Abdullah Khan and Hameedullah Khan, using fake property registry documents allegedly worth Rs4m each.
Following the release of the accused, the complainant, Mashooq Deen, challenged the authenticity of the submitted documents. An investigation confirmed the registries were fake. In response, the court cancelled both surety bonds and issued arrest warrants for the guarantors. The murder accused Inayatullah, who had been released on the basis of these forged documents, was also re-arrested.
On the court's directive, Court Reader Nadeem Altaf got the case registered.
