Nukta’s investigative show On My Radar has led to the Sindh government cancelling an illegal allotment of 75,000 square yards of prime public land near Karachi’s Civic Center.

The land, worth PKR 20 billion, was secretly sold to a private builder for just PKR 620 million—despite earlier Supreme Court orders to cancel the deal.

Special Correspondent Akhtiar Khokhar uncovered how public land was quietly handed over, exposing a deep-rooted scam.

Thanks to Nukta’s relentless journalism and public pressure, the deal is now cancelled—yet full accountability remains missing.
