Faisalabad 17 Oct 2026 (DIGITAL ITLA): Acting on internal inquiry recommendations, the Special Branch Faisalabad Region has dismissed EDC Operator Muhammad Usman from service for defrauding citizens under the guise of providing government jobs, following which the Anti-Corruption Establishment (ACE) Faisalabad registered a criminal case and arrested the suspect.
According to official correspondence, complainant Muhammad Adnan lodged a formal grievance alleging that Special Branch official Muhammad Usman extorted PKR 1.35 million from him and his brother Arslan after promising job placements in WAPDA. The accused provided forged appointment letters and fake experience certificates for the post of Senior Storekeeper, which WAPDA authorities officially declared fake following verification.
During the departmental inquiry, the accused failed to produce valid defensive documentation and acknowledged receiving funds. Consequent to the inquiry findings, the competent authority issued a dismissal order against Muhammad Usman and formally referred the case file alongside inquiry findings to ACE Faisalabad for criminal prosecution.
Taking action on the referral, Deputy Director Anti-Corruption Establishment Faisalabad, Sarfraz Waraich, led an operational team that arrested the dismissed official and registered an FIR against him under anti-corruption laws. Further legal investigations into the matter are actively underway.
