A major Rs.100 million housing scam has rocked Pakistan Railways, as investigators uncover a network involved in fake allotments of residential plots under the department’s housing schemes.
According to initial reports, bogus documents and forged allotment letters were used to deceive employees and buyers, resulting in millions in losses. Sources suggest that some officials within the department may have facilitated the fraud, which continued for months before being detected.
Authorities have launched a comprehensive inquiry to identify those responsible, while the Ministry of Railways has vowed strict action against all involved. The scam has once again raised concerns about transparency and corruption in state-run institutions.
