Another scandal: Anjum Aqeel booked for occupying land in capital
The PML-N lawmaker has been charged for occupying a plot in Islamabad
ISLAMABAD:
The Islamabad Police booked another case against Pakistan Muslim League–Nawaz (PML-N) member of National Assembly (MNA) Anjum Aqeel Khan for illegally occupying a plot in Islamabad, reported Express 24/7 on Thursday.
The case was registered by the Golra police following an application by retired police officer Raja Ayub.
Khan is already facing a case in the National Police Foundation (NPF) land scam. He was charged with defrauding the NPF of Rs6 billion and was arrested in July. However, he was freed shortly after the arrest by around 30 armed men who besieged the Shalimar police station.
PML-N President Nawaz Sharif had referred Khan’s case to the party’s disciplinary committee to propose action against the legislator for escaping from custody and repeatedly ignoring directives to surrender to the police.
Khan has been issued a show cause notice to explain his failure to immediately turn himself in to the police after the men helped him escape and his alleged involvement in the land scam.
He is currently on bail which will expire on November 1.
