On September 23, a Special Court (Central) in Rawalpindi sentenced two men to a total of 41 years in prison for their roles in sending 92 nurses to Saudi Arabia with fabricated experience certificates. Judge Abdul Rehman Muhammad Arif delivered the verdict in a case initiated by the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) in 2024.
Ghulam Zulfiqar Ali, also known as Mian Zulfiqar, received the maximum sentence of 41 years of rigorous imprisonment. This sentence is to be served concurrently with the three-year term imposed on his accomplice, Ghulam Fareed, who also faces a Rs. 200,000 fine. Zulfiqar has been ordered to compensate each of the 92 nurses with Rs. 100,000, totaling Rs. 9.2 million, which will be deposited with the FIA Islamabad Zone for distribution among the affected nurses.
The FIA revealed that the nurses were deceived into traveling to Saudi Arabia under the pretense of valid experience certificates. However, these certificates were subsequently discovered to be forged. Upon identification of the fraud, all 92 nurses were immediately deported from Saudi Arabia within a month of the discovery.
