Scammers Allegedly Replace US Dollars with Indian Rupees in Donation Boxes at Data Darbar

Scammers are accused of replacing US dollars with Indian rupees in donation boxes at the Data Darbar shrine in Lahore, according to sources. The alleged scam involves manipulating official records, with US dollars recorded as Indian rupees, resulting in the disappearance of donated funds. Forensic reports confirm tampering with government records, and the alleged fraud is believed to have persisted for approximately five years.

The Punjab Auqaf and Religious Affairs Department has established a high-level committee to investigate the embezzlement and identify those responsible for altering the donation records. Former Data Darbar Administrator Sheikh Jameel, former Manager Tahir Maqsood, Zonal Administrators Gulab Irshad and Shahid Hamid Warak are under inquiry.

Punjab Auqaf Secretary Dr. Ehsan Bhutta announced the ongoing investigation and stated that departmental action would be taken upon its completion. The scam came to light through a post on ProPakistani.
