ISLAMABAD – Police in Islamabad filed a case against 10 persons, including former Pakistani captain Shahid Afridi, in the fraud case of a housing project.
The case was registered under Section 420 at Rawat Police Station on the complaint of the victim identified as Abid bin Abdul Qudoos.
Property consultant Sheikh Fawad Bashir, Shehzad Kayani, Umar Bashir, Farooq Bashir, Kashif, Usman, Nasira Bashir, Iftikhar Ilyas, Hafeezur Rehman, and Malik Sohail Ahmed were also named along with former star cricketer.
The complainant told cops that Sheikh Fawad and his partners did the advertisement featuring Shahid Afridi and lured him to invest in the housing project named AAA Business Centre.
The victim said he was influenced by the advertisement featuring Afridi and booked two shops in AAA Business Centre. He mentioned paying Rs55 lac for shop number 17 and Rs40lac for another shop.
Later, it turns out that suspects deceived hundreds of people, depriving them of their hard earned money. Abid also found that the stamp papers given to him were issued with back dates, while the rent agreement was also on a past-dated stamp paper.
He further mentioned that some agreements were signed by Sheikh Fawad, but the signature was actually made by someone else. He accused suspects of allocating the same shop to multiple customers.
