Web Desk: A complaint alleging tax evasion, undisclosed income and questionable financial transactions involving family members and close associates of Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman has been submitted to the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR), seeking a comprehensive investigation into their financial affairs.
The complaint names Senator Kamran Murtaza, Lutafur Rehman, Ziaur Rehman, Asad Mahmood and Abrar Ahmed Khan, calling on Pakistan’s tax authorities to examine their declared assets, bank accounts, sources of income and compliance with tax laws.
According to the information contained in the complaint, the applicant has requested an impartial examination of the five individuals’ financial records to determine whether their declared income corresponds with their assets, banking activities and business interests.
The complainant has urged the FBR to compare income tax returns, asset declarations and bank transactions to identify any discrepancies that could indicate undeclared income or potential violations of tax regulations.
Furthermore, the application seeks scrutiny of financial transactions associated with various charitable, educational and commercial organisations reportedly linked to the individuals concerned.
The complaint specifically calls for an examination of Senator Kamran Murtaza’s financial activities, including transactions conducted through multiple domestic and foreign currency bank accounts.
The applicant has requested that tax authorities review the movement of funds through these accounts and assess whether the transactions are consistent with his declared income and applicable tax obligations.
However, the complaint does not establish that any of the transactions were unlawful.
Meanwhile, the complainant has sought an investigation into Lutafur Rehman’s bank accounts and business activities, requesting verification of whether his financial dealings comply with Pakistan’s taxation laws.
Similarly, the application raises questions about funds allegedly held in various bank accounts associated with Ziaur Rehman.
The complainant claims that the sources of certain amounts require clarification and has asked the FBR to examine the relevant banking records to determine their origin and tax status.
The complaint also seeks an examination of bank accounts associated with Asad Mahmood to determine whether any income was omitted from tax declarations or whether potential tax liabilities remain unpaid.
Separately, the applicant has requested an investigation into Abrar Ahmed Khan’s financial affairs, including his banking transactions and activities connected with the travel and tours business.
The complainant wants tax authorities to assess whether the income generated through these activities was properly declared and whether the relevant financial transactions complied with existing laws.
Beyond individual bank accounts, the complaint calls for scrutiny of financial dealings involving charitable organisations, educational institutions and business entities reportedly connected with the named individuals.
The applicant has urged investigators to examine whether funds moving through these organisations were appropriately documented and whether any transactions warrant further inquiry under tax legislation.
However, the information provided does not identify specific unlawful transactions or establish financial misconduct by any institution.
In addition, the complainant has asked the FBR to conduct an impartial investigation by cross-checking the individuals’ tax filings, asset declarations, sources of income and banking records.
The application requests legal action if investigators uncover evidence of tax evasion, concealed income or other violations of applicable financial regulations.
The submission brings allegations concerning Fazlur Rehman’s family members and close associates before Pakistan’s federal tax authorities.
However, it remains unclear whether the FBR has formally initiated an investigation, sought explanations from the individuals named or taken any enforcement action.
Any determination of wrongdoing would depend on the findings of an official investigation and subsequent proceedings under the law.
