ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Muslim League (PML-N) on Sunday demanded judicial inquiry in Rs6 billion alleged fraud in the National Police Foundation (NPF).
Addressing a press conference, PML-N Leader Siddiqul Farooq also asked the NPF Chairman to constitute an inquiry team for probing the matter in detail.
He said that the allegation of fraud on Member of National Assembly Anjum Aqeel Khan in NPF was baseless.
He alleged that the NFP Director Housing has levelled the allegations in order to blackmail the MNA.
He said that the respected member has the right to take legal action against the Director Housing NPF for maligning him.
Presenting a document, Siddiqul Farooq said that Anjum Aqeel has transferred 318 kanals and 12 marlas of land to the NPF, for which the latter had paid him over Rs 260 million.
He said that the construction of roads on this piece of land was an issue between the Capital Development Authority and the NPF. He said that Anjum Aqeel had no concern with the matter and the record proved it.
Anjum Aqeel claimed that an NPF officer had demanded money from him but he had refused, following which this report was compiled against him, he said.
NPF Director Housing Shahid Iqbal has given himself a clearance certificate, which establishes the fact that he does not owe anything to the foundation, he claimed. MNA Tariq Fazal Chaudhry was also present on the occasion.
