As per the case details,
PTI chairman Imran Khan, his wife, Bushra Bibi, and their close aides Zulfiqar Bukhari and Babar Awan formed the Al-Qadir Project Trust on May 5, 2019, which was aimed at setting up the Al-Qadir University to impart ‘quality education’ in the Sohawa Tehsil of Punjab’s Jhelum district.
However, the trust’s office address in the documents has been mentioned as “Bani Gala House, Islamabad”.
Bushra Bibi later signed a memorandum in 2019 with a private real estate firm, Bahria Town, to receive donations from them.
The trust went on to receive land measuring 458 kanals, 4 marlas, and 58 square feet from Bahria Town as part of the deal.
The government alleges that the private housing society gave 200 kanals of land to Farah Gogi. While there is no record of all these transactions.
It was a fraudulent plot, as the university still does not exist.
