Punjab's Anti-Corruption Establishment (ACE) has registered a case against Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader and former Punjab governor Usman Buzdar and his family members for illegally transferring 900 kanals of land in Dera Ghazi Khan.
According to officials, the case had been registered on behalf of a deputy commissioner in Dera Ghazi Khan, and it named Buzdar's brothers as well.
According to the registered case, Buzdar and his family have been accused of transferring 900 kanals of government land, by forging fake letters to aid in the transfer.
The case has been registered at ACE's Dera Ghazi Khan police station. As per the report, in 1982, nearly 900 kanals of land was transferred illegally to Buzdar and his brothers, who were all minors at the time.
Buzdar was granted protective bail on Monday, regarding the ACE cases registered against him. Senior judge Shujaat Ali Khan of the Lahore High Court's Bahawalpur bench granted Buzdar bail, and adjourned hearings until June 30.
Last month, Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader and spokesperson Attaullah Tarar had said that the government was planning on utilizing the ACE to book cases against Buzdar. In a press conference, he had claimed that Buzdar had 'deprived the poor masses of their rights' and 'ruthlessly plundered the resources of the country'.
Tarar said the former prime minister Imran Khan had 'facilitated' Buzdar's 'corruption', and Buzdar's own front men had been involved in 'plundering the country'.
Previously, Buzdar has also been linked with Farah Khan and her husband Ahsan Jameel Gujjar, who are both facing money laundering cases in the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA).
