GUJRANWALA: An anti-corruption team on Friday arrested a land record officer for his alleged involvement in a land fraud in Narowal.

Reportedly, a citizen Hanif Khan filed an application accusing land record officer Muhammad Suleman and a suspected land grabber of selling him a disputed piece of land located at border area without acquiring an approval from the border area management committee.

Consequently, the border area management committee cancelled the ownership transfer deed causing him a loss of Rs 1 million.

Resultantly, an anti-corruption team arrested Suleman and started further investigation into the matter.
