This is not the first time that the business tycoon has been accused of abusing his power.
Real estate tycoon and the founder of Bahria Town, Malik Riaz, has been accused of not allotting plots to the residents of Rawalpind after receiving money from them.
Recently a video of the conversation between the affected people and the Bahria Town administration surfaced on social media.
A viral video shows a man describing how he and many other people have been visiting the Bahria town office for many years.
The man added, “We don’t want to create problems for the administration. We just want our money back.”

This is not the first time that the business tycoon has been accused of abusing his power.
Last year, the National Crime Agency in the UK investigated the properties of Malik Riaz. Following the probe, the NCA had reached a settlement of 190-million-pound sterling with Riaz’s family.
The National Accountability Bureau filed a reference against Riaz in 2018. The NAB booked him for a 100bn land scam, where he has built the Karachi’s Clifton area Bahria Icon Tower.
In April 2018, a startling report revealed that Bahria Town Karachi’s success is dependent on the ‘manipulation of the law’ by land officials.
With the help of influential people in the establishment, the officials used ‘the state’s coercive powers to deprive rightful owners of their land’ and projected said lands as ‘development’.
In 2016, several police mobiles surrounded Juma Morio Goth, a small village in district Malir and bulldozed a whole settlement. The plan, backed by the police, was to demolish several small huts so that a road leading to Bahria Town could be built through the village.

Banana Republic.
Allottees of Bahria Town Rawalpindi Phase-8 Extensions And F-5 Block have paid all instalments since longe but Malik Riaz has not given possession of their plots. Allottees have been complaining on Citizens Portal, directly to PM , NAB Chairman and to Malik Riaz but no one is going to listen their cries because all are.share holders in his criminal activities. He has been with all the governments and present government has also been purchased by him . Therefore they have given him relexcation in UK property case .He have retired generals ,retired Judiciary and politicians on his payroll.He says that he have purchased from peon to Prime Minister. Is This Islamic Republic of Pakistan? Is this Naya Pakistan? When state as a hole become corrupt then happens like this isn’t?
