The Sindh Government’s Anti-Corruption Department on Thursday claimed to have detained the alleged principal figure in the Legend Trust fraud scheme, a case involving financial irregularities approaching 60 million rupees.
In a significant operation, the Anti-Corruption Establishment team for District West Karachi, aided by the Federal Special Agency, arrested a suspect identified as Nematullah in connection with Case No. 11/2025, a spokesperson for the department confirmed.
Imtiaz Ali Abro, the Director General of Sindh Anti-Corruption, revealed that Nematullah, a private individual, is accused of posing as an authorised representative for Legend Trust to illicitly obtain the organisation’s chequebook.
The Director General stated that the suspect, along with his accomplices, allegedly withdrew approximately 25 million rupees using counterfeit cheques issued in his own name. The total value of the corruption allegations in the case stands at nearly 58 million rupees.
Sources indicate that a case was registered against Nematullah, a resident of Orangi Town, and a woman named Jhanzaiba Shaukat from Chakwal. It is alleged that funds were illicitly transferred and that bank staff may also have been complicit in the scheme.
The primary suspect has been taken into custody for interrogation and is scheduled to be presented before the competent court for further legal proceedings.
