Authorities have launched an investigation into an alleged multi-billion-rupee plot allotment scam involving senior officials of the Capital Development Authority (CDA), with four officials currently under scrutiny as the inquiry gathers momentum.

According to sources, investigators are examining the alleged fraudulent allotment of plots worth billions of rupees in several sectors of Islamabad. Officials from the CDA’s Building Control and Estate Management (Commercial) wings, along with a former Deputy Commissioner and a former Deputy Director (Land), are among those being investigated.

The probe is focused on the alleged use of forged allotment letters and whether official procedures were manipulated to facilitate the disputed allotments. Investigators are also examining the role of officials accused of providing legal backing to the transactions.

Sources said the Ministry of Interior has placed two former CDA officials on the stop list and alerted immigration authorities to prevent them from leaving the country while the investigation is underway.

The inquiry has also expanded to examine allegations of money laundering, overseas investments, and the transfer of family members abroad by individuals linked to the case.

Investigators are further reviewing claims that attempts were made to influence key appointments in the CDA’s Land and Rehabilitation Wing. An ongoing Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) money laundering investigation involving a tehsildar posted in the Land Wing is also being examined as part of the broader probe.

According to sources, the official continued to hold sensitive responsibilities despite the pending FIA inquiry, while a recent appointment in the Land Wing has also come under scrutiny over alleged links to suspicious land files.

The investigation is ongoing, and sources said more senior officials could be brought under scrutiny as it progresses. No official findings have been released, and the allegations have not been proven in court.
