RAWALPINDI: The Intelligence and Investigation Wing of the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) has summoned Ayyan Ali’s mother Farhat Sultana to know about the source of Rs 35 million authorities have found in her bank account.
Sources close to the investigation said the FBR Wing not only wanted to know about the source of her income but whether she had ever filed her income tax returns in the past.
On the other hand, Najeeb Haroon, a Dubai-based businessman to whom Ayyan Ali had reportedly sold plot files, and Mumtaz Hussain, who had brokered a deal between them (the businessman and the super model), did not appear before the FBR team despite having been summoned.
However, the investigators have decided to summon both of them again and if they failed to appear, they will initiate legal proceeding against them, the sources said. When contacted, the Inland Revenue additional director confirmed they had summoned her mother.
An FBR team, headed by Director General Haroon MK Tareen, has been investigating Ayyan’s tax record and her source of income. The Intelligence and Investigation Wing is also going through the details of Ayyan Ali’s travel expenses.
