ISLAMABAD (Oc 9): The devastating impact of international visa fraud has been highlighted once again following reports from Islamabad, where local authorities are investigating the tragic death of a 22-year-old university student.
Laiba Aijaz, a 22-year-old student at the International Islamic University Islamabad (IIUI), was tragically found dead in a capital city green belt after going missing from her home. Her body was discovered hanging from a tree. While investigations are ongoing, preliminary police reports suggest the death is being treated as a suspected case of self-harm.
Inquiries into the circumstances surrounding the tragedy indicate a significant financial and emotional motive. Investigating sources reveal that the student had reportedly paid approximately 5 million rupees to an immigration agent in an attempt to secure travel documents for the United States. It is understood that the young woman became deeply distressed after discovering that the documentation provided by the agent was fraudulent.
Local police officials have stated that a comprehensive investigation is underway to determine the exact cause of death and to track down the individuals responsible for the visa scam.
