A Rs 8.5 billion financial scandal has cast a shadow over Karachi's BRT Yellow Line, a $620 million World Bank-backed project designed to transform the city's public transport system.

In this investigative report, Nukta Special Correspondent Akhtiar Khokhar examines allegations of procurement irregularities and financial mismanagement involving former Project Director Zameer Abbasi and Procurement Director Jhaman Das.

While the inquiry has named only two officials, key questions remain about whether accountability extends beyond individuals to the systems responsible for oversight.
