ISLAMABAD: The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) on Tuesday filed a case of fraud and fake documents against Zain Sukhera, a former consultant to the Ministry of Information Technology and a close friend of PM Gilani’s son.

The FIA also included former Secretary IT, Najeeb-ullah-Malik in the case of fraud and fake documents on the directions of its officer Hussain Asghar DawnNews reported on Tuesday.

Sukhera was earlier alleged by the MNA Imran Shah of handing over the money to his friend, the PM’s son Abdul Qadir Gilani, after getting it from the former DG Haj Rao Shakil, an accused in the Haj scam.
