ZAB Law College's land grabbed by 'china-cutters', money went to 'personalities in Dubai'
Startling confessions have been made by the arrested suspect
KARACHI (Dunya News) – Not only graveyards and cemeteries, even educational institutions have fallen prey to land mafia. Karachi Development Authority (KDA) officer has revealed that ‘china-cutting’ was done to the land belonging to Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto Law College as well.
According to details, KDA Assistant Director Atif Ahmed has revealed during investigation that a Sarfraz Merchant group performed ‘china-cutting’ on the land belonging to the educational institute.
He revealed that major chunk of the money received from this practice went to prominent personalities in Dubai.
KDA officer was arrested from Karachi’s Malir area yesterday. During investigation, he told that he was also involved in the ‘china-cutting’ process of ZAB Law College. He produced original files of plotting on the ZAB college’s land and supplied that to land mafia’s Sarfraz Merchant.
A major portion of the amount earned by selling those plots went to ‘prominent political personalities’ in Dubai and London.
He told that the job of transferring the money was performed by his brother Israr. After the revelations, the law enforcement institutions are raiding various places to arrest Israr.
The arrests of other employees of land department are also expected in light of the confessions of the arrested accused. The high level officials have said that any suspect involved in corruption or any other crime will be brought back to Pakistan if they fled the country.
China-cutting is a practice of land-grabbing in which the lands of public welfare are fraudulently cut into small plots and sold commercially.
