ISLAMABAD: (Aleena Janat) The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) has registered a criminal case against six persons over alleged manipulation of an inspection report of Kamalia College of Nursing, Toba Tek Singh, in which the institution’s marks were allegedly raised to show it as meeting accreditation requirements.

The FIR states that the alleged alteration was made through manipulation of Agenda Item 89 of the inspection report. The agency alleged that the changes were aimed at giving the college an unlawful advantage by making its performance appear compliant with the prescribed accreditation criteria.

As per the FIR, the case followed FIA Enquiry No 320 of 2024. The Pakistan Nursing and Midwifery Council had constituted an Accreditation Committee for the inspection and accreditation of nursing institutions.

The agency maintained that the alleged changes were made in Agenda Item 89 of the inspection report to make the college appear eligible under the required standards.
The FIR described the alleged conduct as forgery, fabrication and tampering with the inspection report.
The agency further stated that evidence regarding the alleged manipulation was established through FIA Technical Laboratory Forensic Report No 143 of 2024. The forensic report has been cited in the FIR as part of the material relied upon for registration of the case.

Following registration of the case, the matter has entered the investigation phase. The FIA will examine the inspection record, forensic material and the roles of the persons named in the FIR.
