The Federal Investigation Agency’s (FIA) Anti-Corruption Cell on Monday registered a case against Najaf Hameed, the brother of former Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) chief Faiz Hameed.
The case also names Abdul Zahoor and Khalid Munir as suspects. The case relates to the alleged transfer of land through forged documents when Najaf Hameed was serving as a patwari (land record officer) in Islamabad.
The FIA initiated the case after completing its preliminary inquiry. Officials said the investigation has begun.
The FIR registered under sections 109, 409, 420, 468, and 471 of the Pakistan Penal Code (PPC) notes that fake registries and incomplete transfers of land were made in 2009 and 2010. Instead of transferring one kanal, only 10 marlas of land were reportedly transferred, while official records were tampered.
In December last year, former director general (DG) Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) Faiz Hameed, was sentenced to 14 years of rigorous imprisonment. The charges against him included engaging in political activities, violating the Official Secrets Act, misuse of authority, and causing wrongful loss to individuals.
According to the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), a Field General Court Martial was initiated against Faiz Hameed on August 12, 2024, under provisions of the Pakistan Army Act. The proceedings spanned over 15 months.
Authorities are carrying out further inquiries to establish the full extent of the alleged irregularities.
