Shakeel Khan, who served as the Communication and Works Minister under the Gandapur ministry, has accused his department’s secretary of releasing Rs6.87 billion to contractors without his knowledge or consent. He claimed that the funds were disbursed between May and June 2024, under the supervision of Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur. Khan further alleged that the secretary admitted to taking a 10-20% commission on the funds, which included payments of Rs200 million to Gandapur and Rs100 million to influential circles, all on Gandapur’s orders. Additionally, Khan claimed that the secretary offered him a bribe of Rs30 million, later increased to Rs50 million, along with a new car, in exchange for his silence, but he refused and claimed he chose to expose the corruption instead.[6]
