An anti-corruption court on Wednesday granted the investigating officer additional time to submit the charge sheet in the alleged corruption case linked to the Karachi Yellow Line project. The investigating officer told the court that the charge sheet could not yet be filed because responses to official letters sent to relevant departments were still awaited. He requested further time, assuring the court that the charge sheet would be submitted once the required replies were received. The court accepted the request and extended the deadline. According to the prosecution, former Project Director Zameer Abbasi is accused of alleged corruption involving Rs 8.5 billion in connection with the project. The prosecution further informed the court that Abbasi remains in judicial custody pending further proceedings. Former Project Director Zameer Abbasi is accused of providing undue benefits to contractors, while both Abbasi and Director Procurement Jhaman Das face allegations of misuse of authority.
