The Public Works Department, the district panchayat office, and Mr. Khan’s Muhammad Ali Jauhar University were also included in the investigation’s expanded scope, according to the officials.

They claimed that the government expenditure records are being examined because the politician was accused of evading taxes by more than 800 crore.
