The inquiry follows allegations of misconduct and maladministration against MirzaAkhlaqBaig.

He was also responsible for collecting tax revenue and checking Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) with a TDS meter to determine freshwater quality. However, it is alleged that he made an unauthorized video and assumed the role of the Anti-
Theft Cell without proper approval, presenting misleading information. Furthermore, Baig reportedly violated KW&SC guidelines and SOPs by sharing the video on social media, further defaming the organization. In a surprising development, a visiting card was found at DilshadManzil in Nazimabad, falsely presenting Baig as the Coordinator to the CEO-MD, which the authorities suspect was an attempt to fraudulently collect money.
