Inside Karachi’s biggest property fraud: 29 plots stolen in PECHS

Karachi’s upscale PECHS has emerged as the epicenter of a major land scam, with 29 long-vacant properties worth billions of rupees fraudulently seized.

A Sindh Chief Minister’s Inspection Team inquiry found that a network of Sindh government officials erased original ownership records, even in the province’s digitized revenue system, and replaced them with fake entries.

Using forged documents, the gang sold these properties without the owners’ knowledge, in some cases transferring them to relatives of officials. The Sindh Anti-Corruption Department has filed cases against 32 individuals, including 12 revenue officers, in what is being called one of Karachi’s largest property frauds.

This investigative report exposes how the scam was carried out and who was involved.
