Investigators stated that the plot in question had been under legal dispute since 2022. It is further alleged that details of ongoing cases and restrictions were concealed in official records, raising concerns of procedural manipulation within the department.

Records indicate that an initial NDC was issued in February and later reissued in May 2023. Despite the disputed status of the property, approval for its transfer was granted. The investigation continues under relevant provisions of the Pakistan Penal Code and anti-corruption laws, with FIA officials examining multiple aspects of the case.
