Police have arrested a suspect from Islamabad’s H-13 sector in connection with the alleged admission fraud involving Laiba Ijaz, a gold-medal graduate of the International Islamic University Islamabad (IIUI). Sources said investigators recovered evidence of alleged online fraud and blackmail involving women from the suspect’s mobile phone.
According to sources, the suspect had rented a room in H-13 and was living in hiding. He had previously worked at the Anti-Corruption Establishment in Quetta before authorities suspended him, and he later joined a company in Islamabad.
Fake US University Admission Documents
Laiba reportedly died by suicide after discovering that an agent had provided fraudulent documents for admission to a US university. Police said she had been distressed after learning about the alleged deception and were investigating the circumstances surrounding her death.
Her family said Laiba had completed her BS degree from IIUI with a gold medal and hoped to pursue further studies abroad. They alleged that an immigration consultant demanded Rs 7 million to arrange her admission to an American university.
Laiba’s father reportedly sold his plot and paid Rs 2.1 million in cash to the agent. The family also said Laiba’s mother deposited her jewellery with a bank to arrange the remaining funds.
Police Investigate Fraud And Blackmail Allegations
According to her family, Laiba discovered the fraud after having the admission documents verified. She reportedly sent a final message to her maternal uncle, asking him not to tell her father about the alleged fraud because she feared the news would devastate him.
Police said authorities found Laiba’s body hanging beside a road in Islamabad’s G-10 sector, within the jurisdiction of Ramna police station. Investigators are examining the case from different angles and awaiting the post-mortem report to help establish the cause of death.
Meanwhile, the suspect’s arrest has brought renewed attention to fraudulent overseas education consultants and the risks faced by families seeking international university admissions. Investigators continue examining the evidence and allegations as the case progresses.
