Quetta (HRNW) — The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) Quetta has arrested three NADRA officials for allegedly issuing Computerized National Identity Cards (CNICs) to foreigners illegally.
The arrested officials include Anwar Shah from NADRA Quetta Regional Head Office, and Junior Executives Akhtar Shah and Khawaja Waqas from the Chaman Zone. According to FIA sources, these officials were providing CNICs to foreigners in exchange for large sums of money, which enabled them to obtain Pakistani passports and travel to Saudi Arabia.
Following investigations by Saudi authorities, several individuals were detained, and Pakistani authorities were formally informed for further inquiry. FIA summoned the NADRA officials for statements and subsequently took them into custody for further investigation.
