Some part of the project was outsourced to Capital Engineering, a company owned by Faisal Subhan (alleged frontman of the Sharif family).

Capital Engineering allegedly made suspicious deals with Jiangsu Yabaite Technology Co. Ltd, which possibly have provided a kickback to the Chief Minister of Punjab, Shehbaz Sharif.
