Recent fraud alert – Malpur fake plot scheme (June 2026)
In June 2026, Rawalpindi Police arrested three men in Malpur who had been selling fake 5-marla plots in a non-existent housing scheme called "Malpur Green City". The fraudsters had set up a small office near the Malpur bus stop and displayed a large map showing hundreds of plots. They collected PKR 50,000 to PKR 200,000 as booking fees from at least 30 victims, promising development within three months. When buyers asked to visit their allotted plots, the men kept delaying, then shut the office overnight. The fraud came to light when one victim checked the scheme name with the development authority and was told no such scheme had ever been registered. Police recovered printed maps, blank receipt books, and fake NOC letters. Most victims were low-income workers who had paid from their savings. The lesson: never book a plot in a scheme that cannot show you a registered NOC and a physically demarcated site.

Final verdict: is Malpur right for you?
If your budget is tight and you need to live near the airport or the Srinagar Highway, Malpur offers real value that few other Islamabad localities can match. But the low prices come with weaker documentation, patchy utilities, and a higher risk of fraud. Buy only after verifying approval status, visiting the site, and paying through traceable channels.
