NAB Bahria Town statement released on Monday had only one thing to say: properties and investments of the people residing in Bahria Town are secure. Speculations on social media that they were not had been a “deep conspiracy” conceived by some elements to get their hands on assets at prices agonizingly low.
In the last several weeks, residents have been subjected to an avalanche of uncertainty with wild rumors spreading far and wide on social media such as Facebook, WhatsApp, and Twitter (X). These viral rumors are particularly dangerous because they attack the stability and trust of one of Pakistan’s most well-established real estate communities. Bahria Town, popular with its contemporary housing schemes and secure gated community, is home to thousands of families who have invested their life savings.
NAB explained that:
- It only takes action against properties owned directly by Bahria Town management.
- The legal action does not touch private homeowners.
- Residents can go about their day freely.
This assurance is a comforting assurance to all the owners of Bahria Town properties that their investments are safe. For both investors and homeowners, this official assurance acts as an antidote to fear-mongering and unfounded speculation.
Why the Rumors Started
According to NAB, these false allegations are a part of the strategy to spread fear among the residents and force them to sell at suppressed prices. The bureau termed it a well-thought-out conspiracy to cheat legal property owners.
Historically, in Pakistan’s real estate market, false rumors have been employed to distort property prices. Through creating panic, evil forces acquire high-end real estate at a fraction of its worth, gaining financially from the upheaval they incite. In Bahria Town, this campaign of fear was intended to intimidate residents into selling as fast as possible, usually at a considerable loss.
By declaring residents as victims of property fraud and deceit, NAB reaffirmed its intention to protect their rights. Bahria Town cases of fraud are nothing new, but NAB is firmly on the side of the residents this time, hoping to thwart any plot jeopardizing property values and public trust.
Extent of NAB’s Legal Action
The current proceedings are linked to the £190 million reference case of PTI founder Imran Khan and others. As per the settlement agreement, NAB is selling Bahria Town developer-held assets—not private residential or commercial flats.
These auctions are part of a court process to recover dues under the settlement agreement. NAB’s role here is clear: individual homeowners’ plots, homes, and apartments are entirely outside the ambit of seizure.
You need to Know:
- Bahria Town auctions involve only developer-owned land and buildings.
- Bahria Town residents’ rights remain a NAB priority.
- The plea bargain process will continue until stolen funds are recovered.
This clarification reassures residents that their property investments are legally protected.
NAB’s Commitment to Residents’ Rights
The bureau stated:
- No external pressure will stop the legal process.
- All actions will follow the court-approved plea bargain system.
- Residents should ignore fake property news and misleading real estate rumors.
In essence, your investment in Bahria Town in Pakistan is safe, and you have the law by your side. Confidence drives the real estate market, and NAB’s role is central in keeping matters stable for both investors and homeowners.
