ISLAMABAD: Pakistani actor and television host Ahsan Khan has expressed deep sorrow over the death of Laiba Ejaz, a gold-medal-winning graduate of the International Islamic University Islamabad (IIUI), whose case has drawn attention to alleged fraud involving overseas education opportunities.
Ahsan shared Laiba’s last video on Instagram and posted an emotional message mourning the loss of a young woman who aspired to build a successful future through education.
He condemned those who allegedly exploited her dreams, trust and hopes of studying abroad. The actor stressed that no young person should suffer such a devastating outcome while pursuing educational ambitions. His message has renewed public attention to the risks faced by students seeking international admissions.
Laiba had completed her bachelor’s degree in Physics at IIUI and reportedly hoped to pursue a master’s degree in the United States. She also aspired to become a scientist, with Harvard University among her educational ambitions.
According to reports, her family made significant financial sacrifices to support her plans. Her father reportedly sold milk from a motorcycle, while the family allegedly sold land and pledged jewellery to arrange money demanded by a private education and visa consultant.
The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) has registered a case alleging that Laiba and her family were defrauded of approximately Rs9.3 million. The first information report states that Rs2.9 million was transferred through her bank account, while the remaining amount was allegedly paid in cash.
The case has prompted calls for accountability and stricter scrutiny of consultants offering foreign admissions and visa services. Authorities face renewed pressure to protect students and families from fraudulent schemes.
Ahsan’s tribute has also highlighted the emotional consequences of alleged financial exploitation and the importance of safeguarding young people pursuing higher education.
