The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) Islamabad Zone has arrested a man accused of fraud
involving a UK work visa. The suspect allegedly received £34,000 and Rs465,000 by promising
to arrange a UK work visa for his nephew but failed to fulfil the agreement.

According to the FIA Islamabad Zone on Wednesday, the Anti-Human Trafficking Circle (AHTC)
Islamabad arrested the suspect during an operation in the federal capital. The accused has
been identified as Syed Majid Hussain.

The complainant alleged that the suspect had promised to arrange a UK work visa for his
nephew, Nauman Ali. The visa was intended to help him travel to the United Kingdom and work
there as a mason.

For this purpose, the accused allegedly received £34,000 and Rs465,000 from the complainant.
However, he failed to complete the visa process as promised.

The FIA stated that the suspect later returned £25,500. However, he allegedly refused to return
the remaining £8,500 and Rs465,000.

Following the complaint, the FIA registered a case against the suspect under FIR No. 330/2026.
The case was filed under Sections 18 and 22 of the Emigration Ordinance, 1979, along with
Section 109 of the Pakistan Penal Code.

Sub-Inspector Syeda Tausaf Zahra is investigating the case. The FIA is also questioning the
arrested suspect to collect further information about the alleged fraud.

The investigation is ongoing, and authorities are working to examine the details of the case and
establish the facts.

The FIA continues to take action against individuals accused of deceiving people through fake
overseas employment and visa promises. Such cases highlight the importance of verifying
overseas job offers and visa arrangements before making payments.
