Visa fraud suspect in student’s suicide case killed in firing by ‘accomplices’, Islamabad police claim

The Islamabad police claim that the mastermind behind the alleged US visa fraud against IIUI student Laiba was killed by his own accomplices during a police chase in Ramna police station jurisdiction. According to the police spokesperson, the under-custody accused was shot at during an attempt to free him from custody. The accused was injured in the firefight but did not survive due to his injuries.

The spokesperson stated that the accused was linked to Laiba's suicide case and that other accomplices are being sought for arrest. Two of the accused's relatives are already in jail for an Rs8.5 million fraud case. The police are currently searching for the remaining money stolen in the fraud.
