Punjab Police have recovered a substantial quantity of gold, cash, and foreign currency during a raid at the residence of Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan chief Saad Rizvi, officials confirmed on Tuesday.
According to a spokesperson for the Punjab Police, the operation, conducted in coordination with the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) and the National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency (NCCIA), led to the recovery of millions of rupees in cash including foreign currency and jewellery.
Authorities stated that police recovered Rs144.4 million in Pakistani currency, along with gold and jewellery valued at over Rs63.4 million. The recovery included 1,922 grams of gold in the form of rings, bracelets, chains, lockets, bangles, and other items.
Authorities also recovered 898 grams of silver, luxury watches and other valuables.
In addition, law enforcement officials confiscated foreign currency equivalent to more than Rs2.5 million, including Indian rupees, pound sterling, Canadian dollars, Saudi riyeals and UAE dirhams.
The raid was carried out in the presence of FIA and Cyber Crime Agency representatives, who officially documented and verified the recovered items, the police spokesperson said.
While authorities have not disclosed details regarding possible charges or the next phase of the investigation, sources indicated that the recovery forms part of a wider inquiry into financial irregularities and undeclared assets.
It was reported that one of TLP’s main demands during recent negotiations was the return of its seized cash, foreign currency and jewellery, which the group claims were collected through donations from various countries.
