PESHAWAR  ( Web News  )

The caretaker government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) has initiated legal action by registering a First Information Report (FIR) against Bahria Twon owner and Business Tycoon Malik Riaz Hussain and three other directors in connection with alleged unlawful land transactions linked to Bahria Town Housing Society in Peshawar. Pakistan Penal Code (PPC) sections 419, 420, 425, 463 468 and 471 have been included in the FIR. The FIR has been registered against the directors of the Bahria Housing Society. ASI Khan Alam Khan has been appointed investigation officer in the case. The FIR has been registered by Mazhar Sher.

The FIR has been registered on the application submitted by the Municipal Administration Mathar Peshawar to Deputy Commissioner Peshawar. It has been written in the FIR that illegal housing society with the name of “Bahria Housing Society” exists in our jurisdiction. The subject housing society has not obtained NOC from TMA Mathra and thus is violating rules 72877 of the Khyber Pakhtunkwa Local Government (Private Housing Scheme Management and Regulation) Rules 2021 and section 66 of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Local Government Act 2013 to curb the illegal and fraudulent activities of the subject housing legal.

According to a private TV channel report, the FIR, naming Malik Riaz Hussain, the founder of Bahria Town, alongside three additional individuals, namely Hina Malik, Hamid Riaz, and Amir Rashid Awan, asserts that Bahria Housing Society failed to secure the essential No-Objection Certificate (NOC) required for establishing a private housing society, thus breaching KP’s regulatory framework.

Authorities have issued warnings to prospective buyers, cautioning them against participating in property transactions within Bahria Town Peshawar.

According to sources, the police are formulating a plan of action and have initiated the process of gathering statements from local residents regarding the acquisition of land for the housing project.

The selection of land in Kafur Dheri for Bahria Town in Peshawar has been a long-standing contentious issue. This area has been a subject of dispute between the family of the former Deputy Speaker of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Assembly, Mahmood Jan, and the Isa Khel tribe.

The primary cause of this conflict is the competing claims of the Isa Khel tribe over Kafur Dheri, which has fueled hostilities between the two factions for an extended period. Tensions flare up whenever an opportunity presents itself.
