Authorities have launched an investigation into allegations of money fraud involving a police officer in Karachi. The inquiry follows claims of irregularities during a raid at a gambling site in the Mauripur area.
DIG South Karachi Asad Raza has ordered a formal inquiry against the SHO Mauripur. The case is linked to alleged money fraud during a police operation at Turtle Beach.
According to official instructions, the SSP City has been directed to investigate the matter. The report must be completed within five days and submitted to senior authorities for review.
The incident took place on April 12. Mauripur police conducted a raid at a hut located at Turtle Beach. The location was reportedly being used for illegal gambling activities.
During the operation, police arrested around 40 individuals, including a woman identified as Zubaida alias Adeeba. A case was registered following the raid.
In the FIR, police mentioned a recovery of Rs. 255,500. However, sources claim the actual amount seized was significantly higher. Reports suggest the total recovered cash was around Rs. 4.879 million.
This discrepancy has raised serious concerns about possible money fraud within the police operation. Authorities are now examining the difference between official records and reported figures.
Officials say the inquiry will determine whether any misconduct or embezzlement took place during the raid. The findings will also clarify how the seized money was documented and handled.
The investigation into alleged money fraud is being closely monitored by senior officials. They have stressed that transparency and accountability are essential in such cases.
Police sources confirm that all evidence related to the raid is being reviewed. Statements from involved officers and witnesses are also expected to be recorded.
Authorities have not yet confirmed any disciplinary action. However, they have stated that strict measures will be taken if the allegations are proven.
The case has attracted public attention due to the large difference in reported and claimed recovered amounts. It has also raised broader questions about oversight in enforcement operations.
Officials believe the inquiry will help establish the facts and ensure accountability. The outcome will decide whether the allegations of money fraud are substantiated.
The report is expected to play a key role in determining further legal and departmental action in the coming days.
