FIA arrests woman in Rs 5.2 million UK visa fraud

Arrest and recovered funds details

The Anti-Human Trafficking Circle Rawalpindi detained the accused under FIR No. 285/2026 after receiving a complaint about fraudulent visa promises. Investigators say the woman took Rs 1 million to provide a fake International English Language Testing System certificate. She later offered a fake marriage registration certificate and an agreement on e-stamp paper to secure the remaining payments. Police recovered Rs 2 million from her during the initial investigation while they seek the rest of the money.

Fraudulent scheme and guarantor role

The complainant alleged that the woman received total payments on the promise of sending him to the United Kingdom. When the victim demanded his money back, the accused allegedly refused to return the amount and threatened him. Another person reportedly acted as a guarantor in the agreement before the fraud was uncovered by authorities.

Inspector leads ongoing probe

Inspector Iqra Jahangir is currently investigating the case with the FIA Islamabad Zone leading the operation. Officials stated that they would continue action against individuals involved in human smuggling and visa fraud cases. Efforts are underway to determine the involvement of other suspects connected to this specific investigation.
