Mirpurkhas Education Board Officials Arrested for Issuing Fake Matric Certificates to Afghans

A major corruption scandal has emerged at the Mirpurkhas Education Board, where thousands of fake matriculation certificates were reportedly issued to Afghan citizens. The scheme allowed individuals to obtain domiciles and identity cards based on forged academic documents.

ASP Quratul Ain told the media that the certificates were being sold for sums ranging from Rs 50,000 to Rs 500,000, depending on the type of service — including mark upgrades, passing failed exams, or complete fake certificates.

Two individuals, including Azam Khan, in-charge of the board’s secret branch, have been arrested in connection with the case. The anti-corruption department has also seized the board’s records and initiated a full investigation.

Azam Khan admitted to the media that he charged Rs 50,000–100,000 to increase marks, Rs 50,000 for passing a failed exam, and Rs 500,000 for a fake matric certificate. He revealed that two government and two private schools were involved, issuing fake certificates in exchange for genuine ones.

According to the investigation, Anwar Aleem, the Controller of the Board, was the central figure in the scheme, maintaining accounts of all transactions and orchestrating the corruption. Authorities are continuing to probe the depth of the network involved in the forgery.

The scandal raises serious concerns about academic integrity and documentation standards in the region, prompting authorities to assure strict legal action against all individuals involved.
