The arrested suspects include Inam-ul-Haq, an Assistant Director at Nadra, Fayyaz Ahmed, a Deputy Assistant Director at Nadra, Junaid Ahmed, a Nadra watchman, and private agent Muhammad Omar Shah. Investigators believe the group worked together to facilitate the illegal issuance of identity documents for Afghan nationals. Officials have launched a detailed investigation to determine the full extent of the network’s activities and identify everyone involved.
Meanwhile, preliminary findings indicate that the suspected network may have links with terrorist elements, raising serious security concerns for investigators. Authorities are examining available evidence to establish the nature of these alleged connections while expanding the scope of the investigation. Officials stressed that further inquiries will help uncover additional facts and identify other individuals connected to the case.

During the operation, investigators seized important records and other evidence that they believe will support the ongoing investigation. Officials expect the recovered material to reveal more details about the network’s operations and possible accomplices. They also said additional arrests are likely as investigators continue tracing facilitators and key figures linked to the alleged document fraud scheme.
Furthermore, the FIA reaffirmed its commitment to taking strict action against organized crime networks involved in fake identity documents, terrorism support, and other illegal activities. Officials said law enforcement agencies will continue carrying out impartial operations until everyone responsible is brought before the law. They added that protecting national security and preventing identity fraud remain top priorities for the authorities.
