On the directives of Chief Minister Qaim Ali Shah, the CMIT team visited the land and reviewed its documents.

Ilyas Rajput has claimed that all 76 acres land, excluding the buildings of Culture and education departments, is his property. He has the documents of ownership of the said land but Revenue officials rejected his claim, sources said.
