In a letter written to the Rawalpindi and Chakwal deputy commissioners, the Rawalpindi division of the provincial anti-corruption body stated that Najaf had tried to supersede several seniors for promotion to the Girdawar post and "accumulated assets beyond his own means".

It further stated that the records were needed for ongoing assets beyond means inquiry against Najaf, who had been suspended from the post of deputy tehsil dar on February 16.

The former ISI chief's brother had been removed from the post in public interest over alleged misconduct.
