Reports gathered by the MM News revealed that a team of CDA officials and local police raided the Centaurus Mall and expelled the administrative staff as well as guards, after which the building was sealed.
Earlier in October, the mall had caught fire for unknown reasons but a spokesperson for the AJK PM had blamed federal government for fire in Centaurus Shopping Mall, which is owned by AJK PM Sardar Tanveer Ilyas.
