The investigation revealed that
the trio, allegedly working in collusion, deceived Asmat Ullah Khan into transferring funds for the purchase of a property in F-7/3 Islamabad, covering an area of 1244 square yards.
According to sources familiar with the investigation, the fraudulent transaction was executed with the aid of a forged Non-Development Certificate (NDC). Muhammad Ashraf Chandio allegedly impersonated a Deputy Director at the CDA.
