The Anti-Corruption Circle (ACC) of the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) has launched a crackdown on a mafia involved in issuing fake and unregistered technical degrees. This action followed a complaint from the government’s technical training center, the National Vocational and Technical Training Commission (NAVTTC).
During the operation, the ACC conducted raids on three institutions: Modern Institute of Informatics, Johar Institute of Information Technology Islamabad, and International College of Education. The owners of these institutions were arrested.
These suspects had issued thousands of fake technical certificates, degrees, and cards to the public in exchange for large sums of money. They advertised these fraudulent services through newspapers and social media. During the raids, authorities seized a significant quantity of fake degrees, certificates, cards, diplomas, and equipment used to produce these documents.
