PM Directs Legal Action Against Suspect in Alleged Fraud Against IIUI Student

ISLAMABAD, October 10, 2026: Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has reportedly taken notice of the death of a student of the International Islamic University Islamabad (IIUI) and summoned the Inspector General of Islamabad Police for a briefing on the case, according to information received by Islamabad Tribune.

The police chief is expected to brief the prime minister on the initial findings of the investigation and the circumstances surrounding the death of the student, identified in media reports as Laiba Ejaz.

The case falls within the jurisdiction of Ramna Police Station, where police are investigating the circumstances surrounding the discovery of the student’s body in Sector G-10.

Allegations of Fraudulent Admission Documents

The case has drawn further attention following allegations that the student was deceived by a man identified in reports as Nauman, who allegedly offered to arrange her admission to a university in the United States.

According to information attributed to sources and the student’s family in media reports, the agent allegedly provided a purported scholarship letter bearing the name of Harvard University. The authenticity of the documents and the allegations against the individual require verification through the ongoing investigation.

The family reportedly said the student had been pursuing opportunities for higher education abroad. Other reports have indicated that she had also received a scholarship offer from a university in Saudi Arabia.

Financial Transactions Under Investigation

According to the allegations, the student paid a substantial amount of money to the purported agent in connection with the proposed admission process. The payments were reportedly made through bank transfers.

However, reports differ on the total amount allegedly involved, with some citing Rs5 million and others reporting a higher figure. The precise amount, the recipient of the funds and the circumstances of the transactions need to be established by investigators.

The alleged use of forged scholarship or admission documents has also emerged as a key aspect of the case. Investigators will need to establish whether the documents were fabricated, who prepared them and whether any individuals knowingly participated in the alleged deception.

Police Investigation Continues

Police have initiated an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the student’s death and are examining the allegations linked to the purported admission arrangement.

The post-mortem findings and other available evidence are expected to assist investigators in establishing the cause and circumstances of death. No final conclusion should be drawn about the circumstances of the incident or the responsibility of any individual before the investigation is completed.

The reported move by the prime minister to seek a briefing from the Islamabad police chief places further focus on the progress of the inquiry and the need to establish the facts.

The case also highlights the importance of independently verifying overseas university admission offers, scholarship letters and education consultancy arrangements before transferring substantial sums of money.

Any allegation of fraud must be examined through documentary evidence, financial records and statements from the parties concerned. The responsibility of any person named in connection with the case will depend on the evidence established by the relevant authorities.

Islamabad Tribune will update this report as verified information becomes available.
