KARACHI: The Federal Investigation Agency’s (FIA) Anti-Corruption Circle has launched a massive crackdown against an organized syndicate allegedly involved in embezzling funds meant for the deserving beneficiaries of the Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP). According to an FIA spokesperson, the operation was conducted under Enquiry No. 13/2026, where specialized teams carried out search and seizure operations at the BISP zonal offices located in Malir and Korangi.
Key Recoveries and Evidence
During the raids, investigators seized a wealth of incriminating evidence including mobile phones, laptops, and various electronic devices used in the alleged scam. The agency also recovered concealed complaints regarding illegal deductions from beneficiaries and sensitive documents, such as death certificates, which were reportedly being misused to siphon off funds.
