The Federal Investigation Agency’s (FIA) Counter Terrorism Wing has apprehended Syed Nusrat Ali, the superintendent, and FaridShah,the former assistant director of the Sadar Passport Office, for their involvement in issuing Pakistani passports to 63 foreigners.
The arrested officials are accused of tampering with records and data within the passport office to facilitate the illegal issuance.
An investigation revealed that the fraudulent passports were primarily issued to Afghan nationals, who were then using these documents to work abroad. Consequently, all the forged passports have been canceled.
