    MISSISSAUGA | former federal mp Wajid Ali Khan is being investigated by the royal Canadian mounted police (RCMP) in relation to an alleged fraud of $1.1 million.

    Mr. Khan, 71 years of age, and Nadeem Imtiaz Ahmed, 48 years old, both of Mississauga, are accused of having borrowed more than $ 1.1 million to “personal contacts” in Canada, to which the two men reportedly said that the money would be used to acquire properties in Pakistan as an investment, has reported the “Toronto Star”.

The latter had previously appointed a special advisor for the middle East and South Asia. Mr. Khan left politics in 2009.
