The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) is preparing to initiate formal legal action against an individual identified as Amanullah, following serious allegations involving Hawala/Hundi operations and suspicious financial transactions linked to his 16 personal bank accounts. The accused has consistently failed to appear before an Inquiry Officer of the Commercial Banking Circle, Islamabad, despite being served with three separate legal notices.
The subject of this investigation, Amanullah, is the registered owner of a residential property located in Sector G-6/4, Islamabad. This specific premises is currently being utilized by the Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) chief, Maulana Fazlur Rehman, for both his personal residence and as a hub for various political activities.
The proximity of the property to the JUI-F leadership has brought significant public attention to the ongoing probe. The third and final notice was issued on November 7, explicitly directing Amanullah to present himself before the designated Inquiry Officer on November 10.
The document warned that failure to comply with the summons would result in escalated measures. The notice stated, "Failure to comply with this lawful direction without any reasonable justification shall be viewed seriously and further legal action shall be initiated against you in accordance with the relevant laws and available evidence."
An official inquiry, registered under reference number 108/2026, is currently being processed at the FIA Commercial Banking Circle, Islamabad. The investigation is being conducted under the provisions of the Federal Investigation Act, 1974, read in conjunction with the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1898.
Authorities are scrutinizing the financial trail associated with the accused's multiple bank accounts to determine the extent of the alleged illicit activities. Prior to the final warning, the FIA had issued two initial notices on November 4 and November 6.
These communications required the accused to produce comprehensive documentary and digital evidence to substantiate the legitimacy of his financial transactions. The failure to provide these records has prompted the agency to move toward more stringent enforcement actions.
This development occurs amidst a broader climate of scrutiny regarding the financial affairs of political figures and their associates. In a separate but related context, the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) has also intensified its oversight, having issued a second call-up notice to Asad Mahmood, the son of Maulana Fazlur Rehman, on November 10.
These parallel investigations highlight a period of heightened regulatory activity concerning the financial dealings of the JUI-F leadership and those connected to their private properties. Legal experts suggest that the FIA's move to initiate action against the property owner could lead to further complications for the occupants of the residence.
As the investigation progresses, the agency is expected to seek court orders to compel the accused to cooperate or to freeze the assets in question. The outcome of this inquiry remains a matter of significant interest for political observers and law enforcement agencies alike.
