Islamabad Student Found Dead After Allegedly Losing Rs7m in Education Scam

Police say the 20-year-old student had paid Rs5 million for U.S. travel papers that later proved fake, and they are investigating an alleged agent.

  • On Friday, International Islamic University Islamabad student Laiba was found dead near a green belt in Islamabad; police stated the incident appears to be a suicide, though an investigation is underway.
  • Laiba was under severe mental stress after discovering that admission and scholarship documents for a United States university were fake, following an alleged Rs5 million fraud by an agent.
  • Rana Amjad, the student's maternal uncle, said her father, who has supplied milk on a motorcycle in Islamabad for 30 years, sold a plot of land and jewellery to finance the dream; the family later confirmed the Harvard University admission letter was fake.
  • Investigators are examining the agent's role while authorities have launched raids to apprehend the suspect who fled; the City Police Officer ordered a detailed report from the Senior Superintendent.
  • Police stated that all aspects of the case will be thoroughly investigated to determine the circumstances surrounding the death, as officials emphasized that evidence collected from the scene remains central to the ongoing probe.
