Muhammad Khan Bhati, the front-man of former chief minister Parvez Elahi, has confessed that he paid kickbacks to the persons holding key posts at the behest of Parvez and his son Moonis Elahi, according to Hassan Naqvi of The Friday Times.

He exposed the Elahis' nexus with the corrupt and their modus operandi to run their embezzlement business and money-making spree, the insiders said.
