GUJRANWALA: Police at Ladhywala Warraich Police Station have registered a case and arrested Aslam Dhillon over an alleged attempt to offer Rs200,000 to Station House Officer Chaudhry Afzal Gujjar during an inquiry into a land-possession dispute.
Aslam Dhillon has been identified in the police documents as the personal secretary of former PML-N Member of the Punjab Assembly Haji Amanullah Warraich.
According to the First Information Report dated August 17, 2026, the alleged incident occurred while police were investigating an application concerning possession of a property within the limits of Ladhywala Warraich Police Station.
Police alleged that Aslam Dhillon approached SHO Chaudhry Afzal Gujjar on behalf of one of the parties involved in the dispute and attempted to hand him Rs200,000. The money was allegedly offered to influence the ongoing inquiry and obtain a favourable outcome for one side.
Police Take Currency Into Possession
According to the police version, the currency was counted following the alleged offer and found to consist of 40 banknotes of Rs5,000 each, amounting to a total of Rs200,000.
The police took the money into possession as case property, completed the required documentation and arrested Aslam Dhillon. A formal case was subsequently registered against him, and further legal proceedings were initiated.
The FIR has been registered as No. 983/26 and cites Section 162 of the Pakistan Penal Code. This provision addresses gratification obtained or accepted through corrupt or illegal means to influence a public servant. The law provides for imprisonment of up to three years, a fine or both, subject to conviction by a competent court.
Investigation Remains Underway
Police officials said that any attempt to influence an investigation through bribery or other unlawful means would be dealt with in accordance with the law. Further investigation is underway to establish the complete circumstances surrounding the alleged transaction and the original property dispute.
No independent response from Aslam Dhillon or Haji Amanullah Warraich was included in the material available at the time of publication. Their position will be added if an official response is received.
The registration of an FIR and arrest of a person do not constitute proof of guilt. The allegations remain subject to investigation, presentation of evidence and determination by the relevant court.
