FIA warns of action against owner of Fazlur Rehman’s residence

Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) has warned that it may take further legal action against a man identified as Amanullah over alleged hawala and hundi activities and suspicious transactions involving 16 bank accounts.

ISLAMABAD: Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) has warned that it may take further legal action against a man identified as Amanullah over alleged hawala and hundi activities and suspicious transactions involving 16 bank accounts.

Amanullah failed to appear before an inquiry officer of the FIA’s Commercial Banking Circle in Islamabad despite being summoned through three notices, according to the agency’s latest notice.

Amanullah owns a house in Islamabad’s G-6/4 sector where Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman resides.

The third notice, issued on November 7, directed Amanullah to appear before the inquiry officer on November 10.

“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,” the notice said.

The FIA is conducting an inquiry, registered as No. 108/2026, into the alleged financial activities through its Commercial Banking Circle in Islamabad. The agency issued the first two notices on November 4 and 6, asking Amanullah to appear and provide relevant information.

Separately, the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) issued a second call-up notice to Asad Mahmood, Fazlur Rehman’s son, on November 10.
