The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA), through its Anti-Human Trafficking Circle (AHTC), has arrested the prime suspect in the notorious Times Immigration fraud case, considered one of the largest immigration scams in the history of Islamabad.

According to FIA officials, the suspect had been operating under the fake identity of Junaid Butt, while his real name has been identified as M. Jahanzeb. He was apprehended in a targeted intelligence-based operation conducted in Lahore.

Investigations reveal that the accused was a central figure in the Times Immigration scam, which allegedly defrauded thousands of citizens under the pretense of providing overseas employment, student, and family visas.

Authorities further disclosed that the network operated from multiple offices, including G-11 Markaz and Giga Mall in Islamabad, as well as Liberty Market in Lahore. The operation also had links extending to the United Arab Emirates.

During the investigation, FIA traced several bank accounts used for large-scale financial transactions linked to the fraud. Officials indicate that further arrests are expected as the probe continues and victims are being contacted for statements.
