Chitral Times Report
PESHAWAR: It was brought into the notice of NAB (KP) that Ayub Nawaz and Muhammad Yar office bearers of Sabzi Farosh Association Bannu have been involved in cheating public at old sabzi mandi Bannu. During the proceedings it was discovered that the accused person in connivance with TMA employees such as Farman ullah Khan (tax Superintendant); Umer Hayat Shah (Building Inspector) ; Gul Faraz Khan Junier Clerk and others had lured 76x vendors of sabzi mandi to invest Rs. 20.96 million for allotment of precious land from TMA Bannu at Sabzi mandi. Subsequently, these vendors (affectees) constructed shops at the said land presuming it was their property. However, later the TMA managed to demolish these shops and illegal occupants of old sabzi mandi were evicted under the relevant law. These innocent vendors were neither allotted any land, nor was their money returned to them. Hence, accused persons have cheated general public of their hard earned money. The reference has been successfully filed at the Honorable Accountability Courts against all the accused persons.
In the light of the directions of Justice Javed Iqbal chairman NAB, the Director General NAB KP, Brigadier (R) Farooq Nasir Awan has vowed to take serious actions against elements involved in cheating of the general public. General public is further advised to be wary of such mafia and report to the bureau if they come across such scams.
