ISLAMABAD  –  The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) has registered a criminal case against serving and former officials of the Capital Development Authority (CDA) over the alleged illegal allotment of 10 residential plots in Sector I-12/4, Islamabad, involving property valued at over Rs200 million. According to the First Information Report (FIR) registered by the FIA’s Corporate Crime Circle, Islamabad, the case was lodged following the conclusion of an inquiry initiated in 2024.

The FIR alleges that CDA officials posted in the Land and Rehabilitation Directorate, in connivance with private individuals, processed and approved claims submitted on September 11, 2017, resulting in the allotment of 10 residential plots, each measuring 30 by 60 feet, in Sector I-12/4. The document states that the original affectee, Aslam, son of Samandar, had been granted state land against an eligibility certificate issued on October 27, 1965, in District Multan. However, the alleged beneficiaries subsequently obtained allotments in Islamabad through claims that the FIA describes as illegal.
