In light of the allegations of sand mixing, the sessions court in Jacobabad has summoned the district food controller. Recent media reports had highlighted the incident and exposed the fraud that took place under the supervision of the district food controller in Jacobabad.

A team from the SFA conducted a raid on a warehouse in Jacobabad and apprehended food supervisor Ghulam Mustafa in the act.

According to the report, officials have confirmed the presence of sand in the wheat stocks, and video evidence has been collected as well. As a result, the higher authorities have suspended the food supervisor, Ghulam Mustafa.
