Sheikh Rasheed Lal Haveli, which used to be where former interior minister lived in Rawalpindi, was emptied and locked up.
Early in the morning, the Abandoned Waqf Property Board, along with the FIA and a lot of police, carried out this action.
Deputy Administrator Asif Khan said Sheikh Rasheed and his brother were staying in the abandoned property without permission. They couldn’t show any proper papers for Lal Haveli.
Officials statement on Sheikh Rasheed Lal Haveli
Asif Khan, the Deputy Administrator of the Abandoned Waqf Estate, told the media that Sheikh Rasheed Lal Haveli is now completely locked, and the unit D158 is a part of the whole place.
He said the documents given by Sheikh Rasheed and Sheikh Siddique weren’t accepted, and the decision to clear out Lal Haveli came from the head of the Abandoned Waqf Estate Board.
The Abandoned Waqf Estate has secured Lal Haveli by sealing it, and the security from the Evacuee Trust Property Board is now guarding the property.
Sheikh Rashid Shafiq, Sheikh Rasheed Ahmed’s nephew, plans to challenge this move in the Lahore High Court.
Meanwhile, Sheikh Rasheed’s lawyer believes locking up Lal Haveli is an act of revenge.
