Former Sports Minister Mahmud Khan Accused of Corruption, Retired Officials Under Scrutiny
A corruption scandal
involving former Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Sports Minister Mahmud Khan has sent
shockwaves through the provincial sports department. The Anti-Corruption
Establishment has filed an FIR against Khan for allegedly transferring 1.8
million rupees from government coffers to his personal account. The FIR also
implicates two retired sports officials, sparking panic among former department
employees.
Sources within the
sports ministry revealed that an official, temporarily posted to the department
from the education department on political grounds during Khan's tenure,
withdrew the 1.8 million rupees and handed it over to the then-minister's personal
secretary. A former officer, currently posted in another department, played a
pivotal role in this transaction, and the entire episode is well-documented.
The secretary of the
sports department at the time of the incident faced disciplinary action and was
suspended, while the director-general and the concerned drawing and disbursing
officer also faced consequences. However, after returning the funds, the two
retired officials were reinstated. Now, they have been implicated in the
anti-corruption case against Khan, prompting them to seek legal counsel.
The retired
officials, hailing from Abbottabad and Peshawar respectively, are now
scrambling to protect themselves from potential legal repercussions. Their
involvement in the scandal has raised serious questions about the oversight
mechanisms in the sports department and the extent of corruption during Khan's
tenure.
