ISLAMABAD (APP): A formal complaint has been submitted to the Director of Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) Islamabad Zone, against Imran Arif Janjua, a Deputy Administrator at the Evacuee Trust Property Board (ETPB) for accepting a substantial bribe in exchange for a government job appointment.
The complainant, Muhammad Shabbir, detailed the incident in his complaint that his nephew, Shehroze Iqbal, is an educated young man who has been struggling to find employment. In an effort to secure a government job for Shehroze, Shabbir was introduced to Imran Arif Janjua by a mutual friend.
Janjua, who is currently posted as the Deputy Administrator of Plazas at the ET Complex near the private hotel in Islamabad, assured Shabbir that he could arrange for Shehroze to be appointed as a Naib Tehsildar. In return for this favour, Janjua demanded a sum of five million rupees.
