LAHORE – The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) has summoned National Database and Registration Authority (Nadra) deputy director to produce the officials involved in preparation of Computerised National Identity Card (CNICs) of Afghan nationals.

Last week, the FIA arrested 11 Afghans and a passport agent trying to get passports on the basis of Computerised National Identity Card (CNICs) they got issued by Nadra. 
According to an FIA official, eight CNIC were issued by Nadra Lahore Office of Kahna while three were issued by a mobile Van Muredke. An FIA official said on anonymity that the agency had also quizzed an assistant director who had got bail.
