An FIR has been registered against him for corruption and abuse of power while working in the Kacha region – a vast region that covers Punjab and Sindh and criminal gangs active in the riverine areas. Known for its base.
The anti-corruption inquiry further revealed that Rafique had illegally cultivated around 1500 kanals of land. In 2018, he is said to have misused his position to seize 1,384 kanals of waqf land belonging to Hazrat Khwaja Ghulam Farid and cultivated it with the help of other criminals.
It is learned that the accused created benami properties in the name of his son, including a one kanal plot in Rahim Yar Khan Mohalla Islamnagar and a four kanal land worth crores in Kuchi Zaman.
