News Desk

Islamabad: Police investigating the alleged suicide of International Islamic University Islamabad gold medalist Laiba Ejaz have uncovered allegations that the primary suspect, Numan, defrauded nine other individuals of hundreds of thousands of rupees by promising them government jobs.

According to police sources, the suspect allegedly collected money from multiple individuals on the pretext of securing government employment and provided them with fake appointment letters. The victims reportedly believed they had obtained jobs before discovering that the documents were forged.

Police sources said the alleged fraud had not initially been reported to the relevant authorities, which prevented the cases from coming to light earlier. However, the Federal Police have now traced some of the alleged victims, while others have begun approaching the authorities to report their experiences.

Investigators are examining the information and documents provided by the victims to determine whether the suspect was involved in additional cases of fraud. Police are also working to establish the total number of people allegedly deceived through false employment promises and whether other individuals were involved in the suspected scam.

Numan is also being investigated in connection with the death of Laiba Ejaz, a gold medalist student at the International Islamic University Islamabad.

Laiba’s family has alleged that the suspect took a substantial amount of money from them after promising to arrange admission, a visa, and a scholarship for her higher education in the United States. 

The family further alleges that he subsequently provided forged documents.

aPolice investigations into Laiba’s death and the separate financial fraud allegations are ongoing. Authorities are continuing efforts to identify additional alleged victims, verify the evidence, and establish the facts surrounding the cases.
