ID fraud: NADRA assistant director arrested for assisting Sharbat Gula
Imad Khan was at large after an FIR was registered against him.
PESHAWAR (Dunya News) – The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) has arrested an assistant director of the National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) on Friday on the charges of assisting famed ‘Afghan Gir’ Sharbat Gula in obtaining a forged Computerized National Identity Card.
Imad Khan was at large after an FIR was registered against him and two other officials on October 20, 2016.
On Wednesday, Pakistani officials handed over Gula, whose haunting eyes were captured in National Geographic’s cover photo taken in a refugee camp in the 1980s, to Afghan border authorities after escorting her from Peshawar.
Afghan President Ashraf Ghani met Sharbat Gula and her family.
Gula was arrested last month for living in Pakistan on fraudulent identity papers.
She said that her late husband, Rehmat Gul, had earlier made a manual national identity card in 1988, which was used to get the CNIC with the help of an agent who was bribed.
