Shibli Faraz's tax documents stolen from Islamabad residence
22
Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf leader Shibli Faraz claimed Saturday that his house in Islamabad sector F-7 was burgled by unknown persons, who made off with "important documents" including details of his tax returns, property papers and records of the Ahmed Faraz Trust.
Shibli, who is the son of renowned poet Ahmed Faraz, said the house had been empty for the past few years and that he had transferred his documents there from his office.
Shibli insisted that the break-in was an attempt to malign him and his party. The people responsible for the theft wanted to get their hands on documents that could be used to defame and blackmail him and the PTI, he said.
He added that "stunts like these" will not deter him or his party.
Shibli has demanded that law enforcement officers investigate the matter thoroughly. A complaint has been registered with police and law enforcement officers have conducted a thorough search of the house.

How could "tax", "property" and "trust" documents malign anyone? Something fishy.

Why should someone steal tax documents to blackmail? Is there any wrong information or any information not furnished to tax authorities ie tax evasion?

Is he so stupid to keep these important documents at the haunted house? Sound like this drama stage to cover his tax irregularities.

Tax dox? The FBR has introduced online tax filing system. You don't need to worry about those. But yes if there were something illegal that must not be public then your worries are valid.

If PTI is accusing the Government, they are misleading the public. The Government can always get the documents through proper offices. Mr.Fraz is trying to hide something else. If those documents were so valuable,why were they dumped in a house which was empty for many years?

@Katy , it was not a funding money. It was for the services provided by Pakistan. But I hope you guys in the future do not pay us a cent. But than, who would you blame for your Uttar Failure in Afghanistan, or any were else you fight. I can not recall a successful war, or meaningful, you guys fought any where after WW 2 ,with the help of others. I am sorry you won two big wars one in Granada and Panama.

The claim of Mr shibli sound very strange. All tax papers original copies are with FBR.If every thing is in order he should not worry. There seems something wrong in the papers,there fore,he is worried.

Mr Faraz is a property Baron, and builder of high end houses for elite-- how does this effect, record of properties available with CDA and land authorities, and the tax returns available with tax authorities. He should simply make him tax returns and property details public . So that stolen documents become worthless..
