HDC Managing Director Quits Amid ‘Binveriya’ Land Allocation Scandal

Housing Development Corporation (HDC) Managing Director Ibrahim Fazul Rasheed resigned after allegations of fraudulent land allocations under the 'Binveriya' housing scheme, which reportedly involved MVR 450 million of land going to about 50 ineligible individuals. Authorities have seized passports, suspended HDC executives, board members and political appointees, while police and the Anti-Corruption Commission continue investigations with no formal charges filed.
