The Federal Investigation Agency’s (FIA) anti-corruption circle launched a crackdown against suspects involved in issuing fake and unregistered degrees of technical education and arrested three owners of illegal institutions in the twin cities.
In a press statement, an FIA spokesperson stated that the agency had begun acting against individuals who were allegedly issuing fraudulent and unlicensed technical degrees.
Targeted Institutes
- The International College of Education
- the Johar Institute of Information Technology Islamabad
- Modern Institute of Informatics
These three fictitious and unregistered organizations were targeted by the raids, according to the spokesman. The raids resulted in the arrest of the institutes’ owners. Zeeshan Zahid, Ahsanuddin, and Umar Farooq were among them.
National Vocational and Technical Training Commission (NAVTTC)
The defendant, who was being held in Rawalpindi and Islamabad, allegedly offered locals huge sums of money in exchange for fake technical information, degrees, and cards. Additionally, they used the exteriors of fake institutions to promote admittance in a few magazines and on social media. The culprit was singled out after the National Vocational and Technical Training Commission (NAVTTC) complained, the spokeswoman said.
Purchase of Fake Documents and Equipment
A sizable quantity of fake technical degrees, certificates, cards, diplomas, and the tools needed to create these false credentials were found by the FIA during the raids. Letterheads, blank certificates, graduation stickers, fake seals, and an embossing machine were among the things found.
Ongoing Investigations and Future Actions
The FBI seized a tonne of forged technical degrees, certificates, cards, diplomas, and equipment for creating credentials during raids. From the accused’s possession, further items included letterheads, blank certificates, graduation stickers, fake seals, and an embossed machine.
According to the spokeswoman, raids are being carried out to apprehend further suspects.
This time, the director of Islamabad Zone recognized the team’s outstanding achievement and their efforts. The spokesperson continued, “Indiscriminate actions against fake and illegal institutions will not stop.”
In Summary
In summary, the FIA’s operation against colleges offering fake degrees in the twin towns of Islamabad and Rawalpindi is an important step toward combating the problem of educational fraud. Arrests and the confiscation of equipment and documents that were fabricated demonstrate the agency’s commitment to maintaining the integrity of the educational system and shielding the public from such dishonest activities.
