NADRA officials among four arrested in Karachi

The FIA arrested four suspects in Karachi, including NADRA officials Imamul Haq and Fayyaz Ahmed, a NADRA watchman, and a private agent, for allegedly facilitating the issuance of fake identity documents for Afghan nationals. Investigators recovered records and other incriminating material, and the operation has led to an expanded scope with expectations of further arrests. Early findings point to links between the network and terrorist elements, though investigations are ongoing to determine the extent of those connections. The case coincides with a missing person report filed by the family of Fayyaz Ahmed, and rights groups have urged swift efforts to locate the official. These arrests are part of a broader Pakistani crackdown on fake national documents amid ongoing repatriation efforts for Afghan nationals. Coverage across multiple outlets highlights a consistent narrative of a coordinated network operating through NADRA and allied actors, with authorities pledging accountability for all involved.
