LAHORE: Tightening the noose around the neck of a once powerful man of the ruling Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI), the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) has registered two more FIRs against Jahangir Khan Tareen and his family members facing over Rs5 billion money laundering and fraud charges in the sugar scam.
The FIA’s Lahore circle had registered both the FIRs against Jahangir Tareen, his son Ali Tareen, son-in-law and others on March 22 and sealed them. However, on Wednesday it opened the FIRs ‘on an order from the top’ and initiated legal proceedings against those nominated.
A total of four FIRs have been registered against Mr Tareen and others since November last in connection with the multi-billion-rupee sugar scam but the FIA has yet to lay its hands on them.
