Rs. 40 Billion Scandal Shakes KP, Fake Firm, Bogus Checks, and Billions in a Driver’s Account

A jaw-dropping financial scandal has surfaced in Upper Kohistan, KP, involving massive embezzlement of over Rs. 40 billion from 2020 to 2024. The scandal centers around the C&W Department, where severe financial irregularities were uncovered.

Investigators found Rs. 4.5 billion in the personal account of a dump truck driver, who allegedly created a fake construction company to siphon government funds into private accounts. Around 1,000 fraudulent checks were issued as part of the scheme.

Funds meant for developmental projects, contractor securities, and official payments were manipulated. Records were tampered with, costs were inflated, and fake bills and securities were approved.

The District Accounts Officer is accused of bypassing financial and treasury rules, approving unauthorized payments in clear violation of anti-money laundering laws.

Over 50 bank accounts have been frozen so far, with the authorities expanding the investigation and promising strict action against all those involved.
