Anatomy of a Takeover: Muhammad Imran’s Orchestrated Seizure of Background Check Group

Case HRPM-BCG20260 documents a multi-year, premeditated internal corporate takeover of Background Check Group (BCG). Orchestrated by Muhammad Imran Haroon, the current CEO, the operation involved financial embezzlement, ghost employee payroll fraud, and identity hijacking. This investigation details the step-by-step collapse of corporate governance and the exploitation of state-sponsored harassment against the founder to execute a hostile internal shift.

Key Findings

The Financial Shell Game

Analysis of 161 bank documents, including account statements and 67 individual payments, reveals the fabrication of a PKR 15.8M debt. This 'debt' was used as a pretext to justify share transfers and board resolution changes. On March 27, 2026, 75 unusual patterns were detected, including direct payments to directors and credit card misuse disguised as corporate expenses.

Digital Espionage and Evidence Scrubbing

A critical component of the takeover was the use of digital tools to mask embezzlement. On March 31, 2026, finance account passwords were changed during an active investigation. Most notably, a 'night shift operative' was brought in to scrub forensic logs after the abrupt termination of Horizon Technologies, the IT management firm.
