A major property scam has come to light in Islamabad and Rawalpindi where more than ninety thousand plots were sold even though they never existed. NAB reported that several private housing schemes and cooperative societies deceived people by selling files and memberships for land they did not own. These developers promoted fake land banks, created false promises and issued thousands of files without securing any real area for development. Investigations uncovered that over ninety one thousand files were sold far beyond the limits approved for these schemes. Some societies even claimed they possessed up to eighty thousand kanals despite owning only a fraction of that land. As a result many buyers unknowingly paid for property that had no physical presence at all. The victims are ordinary citizens including government workers retired individuals and families who trusted these schemes with their savings. Many had planned to build homes or invest in property for their children but now face severe financial loss and emotional stress. Authorities are expanding the investigation to determine the full scale of the fraud and to ensure strict action against those involved. The case serves as a serious warning for people to verify land records and approvals before investing in any housing project.
