Fazlur Rehman, family’s explosive corruption details continue to surface

Web Desk: Amanullah, a businessman described as a close financial associate of Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman, is reportedly facing multiple inquiries involving allegations of money laundering, suspicious financial transactions, undeclared income and property-related irregularities.

According to information provided about the case, Pakistan’s Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) and Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) have initiated separate inquiries into Amanullah’s financial activities, while the Capital Development Authority (CDA) has reportedly issued notices concerning properties linked to him.

The reported investigations have also drawn attention to the ownership and financial arrangements surrounding an Islamabad residence used by Fazlur Rehman.

At the centre of the controversy is a property in Islamabad’s G-6/4 sector, identified as House No. 7, Street 83, which is reportedly used as a residence by Fazlur Rehman.

According to the information supplied, Amanullah is the registered owner of the property, raising questions about the financial arrangements between the businessman and the JUI-F leader.

The property was reportedly transferred into Amanullah’s name on May 23, 2019, for Rs50 million.

However, questions have emerged over whether the declared transaction value accurately reflected the property’s market price at the time.

The information alleges that the recorded sale price was significantly below the property’s actual market value, although no independent valuation or documentary evidence establishing undervaluation was provided.

The property’s reported ownership history dates back to 1966 and involves several transfers before its acquisition by Amanullah in 2019.

Nevertheless, ownership by a third party or a transaction below an estimated market value does not, by itself, establish financial misconduct.

Meanwhile, the FIA has reportedly opened an inquiry into Amanullah over allegations involving informal money transfers through hawala and hundi networks, money laundering, concealed funds and suspicious cash transactions.

According to the supplied account, authorities placed Amanullah’s name on the Provisional National Identification List (PNIL) or Passport Control List (PCL) on November 3, 2026.

The FIA also reportedly issued notices directing him to appear in person on November 2 and November 6.

The account states that Amanullah did not appear on either occasion.

Following those reported absences, investigators allegedly issued a third notice requiring his appearance on November 10, 2026.

In addition to the Islamabad property, the information identifies several businesses allegedly associated with Amanullah.

These include Mount Hayat Hotel & Resorts, ASQA Enterprises, Achakzai Properties, Achakzai Real Estate, Al Wadaq Associates and M. Azam Younus & Company.

The reported business connections have prompted questions about the sources of investment, ownership structures and financial transactions involving these entities.

Investigators would need to examine corporate filings, beneficial ownership declarations, banking records and tax documentation to determine whether any financial irregularities occurred.

Separately, the FBR has reportedly initiated an inquiry into Amanullah’s tax affairs, including allegations of concealed income, possible tax evasion and discrepancies between declared earnings and personal assets.

The reported inquiry also involves a potential lifestyle audit to assess whether his properties, business investments and expenditure are consistent with his declared sources of income.

Such an examination could involve reviewing tax returns, property records, financial statements and other relevant documentation.

Meanwhile, Islamabad’s civic authority, the CDA, has reportedly taken action concerning building regulations at properties associated with Amanullah.

According to the account, the authority issued a notice over alleged building-rule violations at the G-6/4 residence used by Fazlur Rehman.

A separate CDA notice reportedly concerns another property linked to Amanullah in Islamabad’s Gulberg Greens area.
