Last month, another controversy surfaced over auction of the commercial plot at National Police Foundation (NPF) in Islamabad’s E-11 sector. The plot which was valued at Rs1.02 billion, was sold through a sealed-bid auction to allegedly facilitate Shunaid Qureshi, a director of a the same media outlet, in a hospital development project linked to the same company, without property guidelines.
