Arrested; case registered against him, shareholders, and the contractor

A first-floor classroom roof caved in at Al-Khair Education Centre in Peshawar on October 15, killing 34 children and a teacher during morning lessons. An inquiry report presented to Governor Faisal Karim Kundi on October 28 found the building was a house built in 2011, with no approved plan on city records. It blamed the owner for substandard materials and pointed to negligence by government departments. The governor ordered the report sent to the provincial law department for a legal review.
