The Anti-Corruption Circle of the Federal Investigation Agency carried out a major operation in Islamabad, arresting two officials of the Capital Development Authority over allegations of abuse of authority and violations of official procedures.
The arrested individuals include former Deputy Director Estate Management-II Sajadullah and Dealing Assistant Yasir Irfan, who were taken into custody during the operation. Both officials are accused of misusing their official powers in matters related to land administration.
According to the FIA, the case involves the issuance of a No Demand Certificate (NDC) for a disputed plot. The officials allegedly approved and processed documentation in violation of established rules despite the legal status of the property.
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.
