A fresh forgery scandal involving Pakistani passports has emerged in the UK, raising concerns about national institutions’ efficacy.
This incident follows a similar case in Saudi Arabia, where authorities discovered over 12,000 Pakistani passports from Afghan nationals.
British authorities uncovered the scam, submitting 61 suspicious passports to immigration officials for further investigation.
Pakistan has been requested to disclose the status of these passports, with subsequent findings confirming their fraudulent nature.
Discrepancies in passport lamination paper and data paper, along with inconsistencies in parentage and listed data, have been identified.
The focus now turns to unraveling where these fake passports were produced and identifying those involved in this illicit activity.
Investigations are underway to expose the individuals and networks responsible for this fraudulent scheme.
