Earlier this year, a reference had been filed against Aziz,  a member of the PML-N, by Humayun Akhtar, a member of the Capital Development Authority (CDA) and the acting Chief Metropolitan Officer (CMO).

In the reference, Sheikh Ansar Aziz was alleged of abusing his powers, using staff for personal use, and operating official vehicles that were reportedly beyond his entitlement.
