ISLAMABAD: The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) has launched an inquiry into the recent surge in sugar prices across the country during Ramadan, following directives from Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif.
The FIA’s Anti-Corruption Circle has sought assistance from the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) to aid in the investigation. In an official request, the FIA has asked for data on 11 individuals, including sugar mill administrators and businessmen, to determine any possible misconduct in sugar pricing and distribution.
Among those under scrutiny are key figures such as Aneeb Faraz, Muhammad Arshad, and Muhammad Anwar. The FIA is also looking into individuals allegedly involved in illegal transactions related to sugar trading.
Meanwhile, the dispute between sugar mill owners and the government over pricing remains unresolved, as millers have resisted lowering rates.
