High-Profile FBR Official Caught Red-Handed in Massive Visa Fraud Scandal

The FIA Anti-Corruption Circle in Islamabad has exposed a visa fraud scandal involving Atiqur Rehman, a serving Second Secretary at the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR). According to the FIA’s investigation, Rehman falsely presented two private individuals as FBR officials in an official government delegation. This enabled them to obtain French visas for Rs5.3 million.

The investigation revealed that the French Embassy was misled through official government email correspondence, which falsely verified the private individuals—Muhammad Kamran and Aamir Shahzad—as FBR employees. One of these individuals is a driver, while the other operates as a property dealer. Upon discovering substantial evidence, the FIA registered a criminal case against Rehman and other involved parties.

As part of the revelations, the FIA has decided to scrutinize all visas issued to FBR officers. At the Islamabad International Airport, Kamran and Shahzad were arrested by FIA Immigration staff on suspicion. The accused transferred illicit funds through banking channels, which have been secured for investigation. An FIR (No 3/26) was registered against Sub-Inspector Asfandyar’s complaint, and a formal investigation is underway. Authorities confirmed that the principal accused will be arrested shortly.
