The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) has informed Lahore High Court (LHC) on Tuesday that former chief minister Pervaiz Elahi son and two daughters-in-law committed money laundering through a peon of the Punjab Assembly.
The report submitted by the FIA revealed the son of Pervaiz Elahi, Rasikh Elahi, his wife Zara Elahi and sister-in-law Tehreem Elahi (the wife of Moonis Elahi) were involved in money laundering and used the bank accounts of Qaiser Iqbal Bhatti, who works as a peon in the Punjab Assembly.
The report also revealed that millions of rupees in unexplained transactions had been found in the accounts of Parvez Elahi’s peon and family.
According to the report, Bhatti has been engaged in mysterious transactions totaling Rs175 million.
Rasikh Elahi and others have challenged the FIA inquiry and the alleged harassment.
“No fundamental right of the petitioners is jeopardised. The FIA is investigating the case on merit,” the reports state.
