Laiba Ijaz, a 20-year-old student at International Islamic University, had her visa fraud scandal take a tragic turn after she allegedly took her own life, according to police. The suspect, accused of defrauding the student of Rs5 million for her move to the United States for further studies, was fatally shot by his accomplices, police spokesperson said.
After being handed fake travel documents by an agent, the student's suicide drew government attention, leading to her accuser's arrest alongside two female accomplices during separate raids in Islamabad. According to police, the main suspect suffered injuries when his accomplices opened fire on the police during a routine check in Ramna police station jurisdiction.
Four of the suspect's accomplices, riding on two motorcycles, allegedly targeted the police team in an attempt to free the main suspect, police spokesperson said.
The injured suspect was rushed to a hospital but succumbed to his injuries, while the police team, wearing bulletproof jackets and protective gear, remained unharmed, police spokesperson said. A police team was reportedly tracking down the second suspect, and search operations were ongoing for the arrest of the remaining accomplices, the spokesperson added.
