SARGODHA: The Anti-Corruption Establishment (ACE) has arrested numberdar Sajjad Hussain and Muhammad Akram for their involvement in a forgery case. The duo allegedly deprived legal heirs of their inheritance rights in Bhakkar.

Authorities are conducting raids to arrest other suspects. Complainant Javed Iqbal of Chak No 142 SB said suspects presented a false family tree, claiming a fake relationship with Ghulam Qadir, to illegally transfer property ownership.

The ACE has registered a case at the Bhakkar Police Station.

SEALED: The health department sealed two illegal clinics operating in Hathi Chowk and Tiwana Park.

A large quantity of medicines was recovered, and cases have been registered against the quacks for failing to produce proof of qualifications.

Health Deputy District Officer Dr Muhammad Irfan said that the department will not tolerate anyone playing with citizens’ lives.
