The Punjab anti-corruption director general on Thursday issued arrest orders for real estate tycoon Malik Riaz Hussain and his son Ahmed Ali Malik in a land transfer scam case. The Anti-Corruption Establishment (ACE) in Punjab had registered a case against Hussain, his son, general manager and eight others in a criminal case involving 1,401 kanals of land in Rawalpindi in 2009.
The arrest orders were issued approximately eight months after the ACE Rawalpindi director submitted a request to the DG for approval. The arrest orders had been issued by a top official of the Punjab government at a time when the tussle between Hussain, who is also close aide of President Asif Ali Zardari, with PML-N’s central leader Nisar Ali Khan, has reached its climax.
The opposition leader has also developed differences in the recent past with the Sharifs over their proximity with the Bahria Town owner. Two days ago, the ACE investigators obtained three-day physical custody of two employees of Bahria Town from the court.
Anti-Corruption Court Special Judge Malik Nazir Ahmed handed over the legal custody of Colonel (r) Saeed Akhtar, Bahria Town general manager and Muhammad Iqbal, the site superviser, to the ACE for three days.
The ACE prosecutor, however, urged the court to grant the remand to make it easy for the investigators to gather evidence and reach a conclusion. In his statement to the ACE investigators, the Bahria Town chief executive said his firm was not involved in any fraud and they had been deprived of the land they had paid for. He said his company got a criminal case registered with Rawat police after they could not get the land.
According to an earlier investigation into the case conducted on the orders of the Lahore High Court, four people including a woman sold a plot of land measuring 1,401 kanals in Malikpur Azizwal tehsil in Rawalpindi district in connivance with Rizwan. In this deal, the accused in connivance with purchasers and revenue officials deprived the original landowners of billions of rupees because they acquired the transfer and mutation of the land in the names of purchasers on fake entries and forgery in official revenue records.

  1. Just like Car Case murder, this land mafia tycoon in league with DHA Islamabad has ripped thousand of people in the DHA Valley scam, having taken all but the last installment from them and than delaying deposit of the last installment due on 30 Aug 2011 on grounds of some delay. Obviously he has the support of few powerful black sheep located in Islamabad, otherwise he should have been behind bars. He has support of President, the notorious Rahman Malik and few real estate type khakis, which is very sad. Ordinary Pakistanis have been robbed by this tycoon.

  2. The charges seem to be politcal point scoring by some Muslim league MNA as the rivalry between Mali Riaz and the said MNA goes a long way back

  3. He is a self made man. He was not born in land lord or an elite family. Why he is being tarketed by Sharif Brothers?? They have not learn from past. His most projects have completed timely. Wy Punjab Govt is targeting him, or they want him go run abroad with all his investment which is developing Pakistan and providing employment to thousands of people directly and indirectly.
