ISLAMABAD – A shocking scam involving a PMDC Driver has come to light after the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) uncovered financial transactions totaling Rs 4.73 billion. The driver is accused of falsely promising medical college admissions under the foreign quota to aspiring students and their families.
The case emerged in June 2025 when three complainants reported that the PMDC Driver demanded large sums of money for securing MBBS and BDS seats. By August, an FIR was registered. According to the report, the driver allegedly collected over Rs 4 crore from nine families, claiming to use the name of the PMDC president to guarantee admissions.
When the promises failed, the suspect reportedly issued bounced checks and affidavits pledging repayment by certain dates. However, during the court-mandated remand, FIA officials discovered bank transactions worth Rs 4.73 billion, raising concerns about the scale of his financial dealings and potential collusion with others. Three additional suspects are reportedly on the run, with non-bailable warrants already issued.
The PMDC spokesperson clarified that the driver’s actions were personal misconduct. They stressed that no council officers were involved in admissions or policy matters, and that all medical and dental college admissions fall under the authority of universities.
Affected families said they paid as much as Rs 40 lakh to secure admissions for their children under the foreign quota. Despite repeated assurances, the admissions never materialized, and the driver allegedly demanded further payments.
The FIA collected evidence including bounced checks, affidavits, and promises of property as repayment. One affidavit even pledged a four-marla house if payments were not fulfilled. Investigators continue to probe the extent of the scam and whether the PMDC Driver acted alone or as part of a wider network.
