The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) has exposed an alleged scam involving fake medico-legal certificates (MLCs) at the Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS) in Islamabad. In a smart trap raid, authorities arrested three suspects, including hospital staff members.
The FIA used a decoy operation with marked currency to catch the accused red-handed. Investigators believe the group was issuing fake MLCs in return for bribes. These false certificates were reportedly used to support fake criminal cases in courts. During the raid, officials recovered suspected forged documents and important digital evidence.
Fake medical certificates are a serious problem. They can help people avoid punishment or wrongly accuse others. This racket undermines trust in the health and justice systems.
The FIA is continuing its investigation to find more people involved in the network. This case shows how corruption can affect important public institutions like PIMS, which is a major government hospital serving many patients from Islamabad and nearby areas.
Authorities have urged citizens to report any suspicious activities. The FIA’s action sends a strong message against such scams.
