NADRA ADArrested for Restoring Afghan ID Cards

News Desk
ISLAMABAD: An assistant director of the National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) has been arrested for allegedly reinstating cancelled identity cards for Afghan nationals, leading to revelations of extensive corruption amounting to millions of rupees.
The arrest was made by the Federal Investigation Agency’s (FIA) Counter-Terrorism Wing during a significant operation.
Officials stated that the assistant director was involved in a scheme that facilitated the illegal restoration of identity cards, which had been previously revoked due to various legal and security concerns.
This incident raises serious questions about the integrity of NADRA’s processes and the potential implications for national security, as the reinstatement of these identity cards could allow unauthorized individuals access to services and rights reserved for Pakistani citizens.
The FIA’s investigation is expected to uncover further details about the extent of the corruption and the individuals involved.
Authorities have indicated that further investigations will continue, with potential for additional arrests as they delve deeper into the operations of NADRA.
The agency is under scrutiny, and reforms may be necessary to prevent similar incidents in the future.
