ISLAMABAD, 26 October, 2026 (Kamran Raja): An Islamabad court has issued a show-cause notice to a man accused of allegedly defrauding national wrestler Athar Zahid of Rs5 million after reportedly submitting a fake transaction receipt. Additional District and Sessions Judge Muhammad Ali Warraich heard a petition filed by Zahid seeking registration of a case at the Islamabad District and Sessions Court. The wrestler’s counsel, Sher Afzal Marwat, appeared before the court and stated that Zahid had given Rs5 million to Pir Asim Ali Shah for investment. According to the petition, the accused allegedly paid profits for some time but, when Zahid demanded the return of his principal amount, had him arrested with the alleged connivance of the National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency (NCCIA). Marwat told the court that Zahid was a national hero who had defeated India twice in the International Mega Wrestling Championship. The lawyer further alleged that the accused had submitted a fake receipt before the court showing a transaction of Rs100,000. Taking notice of the allegation, the court issued a show-cause notice to the accused over the alleged submission of the receipt. The court also summoned the Station House Officer (SHO) of Shalimar Police Station for the next hearing and adjourned the case until October 28.
