Olympics scam: FIA arrests wanted human smuggler Madam Babri
Madam Babri used newspaper advertising spaces for her scam. Complainant Abdul Sattar went to the FIA with the ad from the newspaper and told them that the woman had taken Rs1,500,000 as fee for five people at Rs300,000 each. He told the FIA that he did not get a visa in return.
The FIA conducted a raid on this tip-off and managed to arrest Madam Babri and also recovered five passports from her possession.
Earlier, the FIA arrested 11 suspects believed to have been involved in a fake passport scam carried out by a Lahore-based politician and other officials.
UK-based tabloid The Sun had claimed to have unearthed a scam on Monday, involving a “Lahore-based politician” and other officials, wherein Pakistani nationals were brought into England under the garb of participants and officials accompanying the Pakistani Olympics delegation for the summer 2012 games – set to start on Friday.

who is this local POLITICIAN.
@Yousuf Khan: Unless your preferred mode of travel is packed in containers aboard a ship or hiding in landing gear on a plane, u can't cut off diplomatic relations with foreign countries just because they don't issue visas without due diligence. Respect has to be earned not demanded, get real mate. Stop giving Pakistanis a bad name by ur ignorant comments.
@ Arjun Singh Yousaf Khan has something you will never have Honor, I have seen the westerners squeal and shout... I support Yousaf Khan throw them all out!!
Any Country which does not issue visa to Pakistanis should be asked to pack up and leave .They can come back when they develop some respect for us ..
I unearth and investigated a similar case where a woman (Travel Agent) in Karachi long time back use to sell US visas for Rs.15,000 per person.
Anything for 2nd master! Anything for England! Long live FIA and Pakistani Police that don't work for people but for the USA and England.
All cover up. The real culprits behind these small fish will never get caught !
I am amazed how quickly the whole ring got caught. I suppose if the lifeline of escape for Zardari and Rehman Maik, England, is under risk then they do everything to keep the British officials pleased. It is shameful that other crimes in Pakistan don't get treated the same way.
