A formal complaint has been submitted to the Director of Federal Investigation Agency Islamabad Zone, against Imran Arif Janjua, a Deputy Administrator at the Evacuee Trust Property Board for accepting a substantial bribe in exchange for a government job appointment.
The complainant, Muhammad Shabbir, detailed the incident in his complaint that his nephew, Shehroze Iqbal, is an educated young man who has been struggling to find employment. In an effort to secure a government job for Shehroze, Shabbir was introduced to Imran Arif Janjua by a mutual friend.
Janjua, who is currently posted as the Deputy Administrator of Plazas at the ET Complex near the private hotel in Islamabad, assured Shabbir that he could arrange for Shehroze to be appointed as a Naib Tehsildar. In return for this favour, Janjua demanded a sum of five million rupees.
Shabbir claimed that he paid three million rupees in cash to Janjua, in the presence of witnesses Muhammad Rafiq (CNIC No. 37405-0374582-7) and Muzamil Hussain (CNIC No. 37405-8414262-5), both residents of Rawalpindi. He promised that the remaining two million rupees would be paid upon the issuance of the appointment letter.
However, despite the passage of six months and the initial payment, Janjua has not fulfilled his promise, nor he has arranged the job for Shehroze.
In his complaint, Shabbir has requested the Federal Investigation Agency to initiate appropriate criminal proceedings against Janjua. He has also called for an inquiry into Janjua’s assets acquired during his service.
