ISLAMABAD – Federal Minister for Information and Broadcasting, Attaullah Tarar, on Wednesday alleged that Bahria Town is involved in large-scale money laundering and illegal financial transactions through hawala and hundi networks.
In a press statement, the minister revealed that fresh evidence had surfaced showing money laundering worth Rs1.12 billion linked to Bahria Town. He claimed that when a team from the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) launched a raid, attempts were made to destroy crucial documents, suggesting efforts to hide the illegal operations.
Tarar further stated that a hospital set up within Bahria Town had been repurposed into a front for unlawful activities. During the operation, FIA officials reportedly recovered hidden cash and sensitive records from the premises, some of which were being transported using an ambulance.
“The evidence points toward direct links between Bahria Town officials and two individuals named Imran and Qaiser Amin, who were regularly involved in hawala and hundi operations,” he added.
The FIA has begun a forensic audit of the seized materials, and more revelations are expected in the coming days.
The minister’s claims come amid growing scrutiny of real estate empires in Pakistan and increasing government action against financial crimes.
