“Connecting the Dots”: Why Malik Riaz trapped Arsalan Iftikhar
Published: 9 Jun 2012.
Rumours and facts and information and disinformation are pouring out about the latest controversy involving Malik Riaz Hussain (founder of Bahria Town) and Arsalan Iftikhar, son of Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry.
The one question that boggles every observing and thinking mind is “Why”? Why Malik Riaz trapped Arsalan Iftikhar into such a well-orchestrated trap and why he made all these documentary and video/audio proofs of the dealings?
Here we try to connect the dots step-by-step.

9 March 2008 (Murree):
PPP Co-Chairman Asif Ali Zardari and PML-N Chief Mian Nawaz Sharif held talks in Murree for a coalition govt at federal as well provincial level. Malik Riaz Hussain was the witness-cum-guarantor to the accord between the two parties, finalized in the symbolic presence of the Holy Quran (brought by Malik Riaz). The accord involved a pledge by Zardari to re-instate the superior judiciary judges deposed by General Musharraf on Nov 3 2007.
The accord eventually collapsed as Zardari refused to honour his commitment on restoration of judges (and it turns out Malik Riaz actually played with Nawaz on behalf of Zardari, against the judiciary).
16 March 2009:
Under pressure from the people of Pakistan marching from Lahore (and the Army too), Zardari govt announced the restoration of all deposed judges. However, he had already decided to teach the judiciary a lesson. In this task, Malik Riaz lent him a helping hand on the condition that his interests will be served too. Knowing very well that Justice Iftikhar won’t budge when it comes to moral and financial integrity, it was decided to target the weak link in the family, the young and ambitious Arsalan Iftikhar.
He was somehow lured into the construction business through Malik Riaz’s front men. Later on Ahmad Khalil (a businessman from Lahore) was used to finance foreign tours of Arsalan Iftikhar alongwith family.
While this Trap-the-CJ project was underway, an incident happened that made Malik Riaz furious as hell. 5 people were killed when they were hit by a sports car during a drag car race in Bahria Town Rawalpindi on 5 December 2010.
