The fraudster group embezzled Rs 7 crore that was deposited by the parties to different cases.
The authorities were not able to figure out the issue as Dunya News found out the central figure Rana Ishtiaq Ahmad associated with the crime.
According to details, Rana Ishtiaq Ahmad hails from Islampura, Lahore and was appointed as judge’s reader at civil court in 2005.
The citizens deposited money to the court in lieu of bail on court’s orders and which was embezzled by Rana Ishtiaq.
Rana Ishtiaq made almost 36 fake vouchers of Rs 7 crore bearing fake signs of judges.
It was on Oct 31, 2010 when Rana Ishtiaq’s fraud came into notice and on Dec 15, 2010 the criminal was dismissed from his post.
Rana Ishtiaq died on April 4, 2011 leaving behind a farrago of unanswered questions.
The first question was if whether a judge’s reader could carry out such a massive fraud.
Were the vouchers bearing judges’ signs got cashed without the help of the treasury officers?
If Rana Ishtiaq got caught why were rest of the members of the group not arrested?
Were officers involved in scams arrested?
On whose orders did the inquiry process cease?
One of the targets of the fraudster group had been Saleem Shahid and his widow.
Saleem purchased a property in Lahore, however owing the land related to that dispute going to high court, the court ordered Saleem to deposit once crore and 41 lakh rupees to the court.
Saleem died as the case got pending for seven yearsamd when at last the court’s verdict came, it was revealed that there existed only 10 lakh rupees inside the treasury while rest of the money was nowhere to be found.
Team Dunya successfully found out the procedure of the fraudster group as it came to know that the court and treasury officers used to show a simple register of court’s orders to Saleem and on the basis of these orders they used to extract money.
Although the central figure of the case was traced, still there have been no signs as to when will the rest of the members be revealed in this case.
