Bahria Town Under Fire: Ambulances Used to Move Cash and Documents

Islamabad: Federal Minister for Information, Ataullah Tarar, has announced that the truth behind the mega corruption scandal will soon be revealed to the public.

In a statement to the media, Ataullah Tarar said significant progress was made in the Bahria Town corruption case during the recent Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) operation. He disclosed that crucial documents were recovered during the raid, uncovering extensive money laundering activities.

So far, evidence has surfaced showing money laundering worth Rs. 1.12 billion. The hospital was reportedly used as a front office, with its ambulance being utilized for transporting related documents. The FIA’s raid uncovered many such irregularities.

“These are preliminary investigations, and more money laundering evidence is expected to emerge,” Tarar said. He added that the illegal transfer of funds abroad has harmed the national economy and efforts were made to destroy incriminating records. However, the FIA team successfully seized the records.

He questioned, “If nothing illegal was involved, then why was there an attempt to burn the records?” The minister emphasized that this is a major corruption case and further developments are anticipated in the coming days. He urged those involved to surrender themselves to the law.
