ISLAMABAD- In a troubling turn of events, Pakistan’s Federal Investigation Agency has come under intense scrutiny for its alleged failure to combat a surge in human trafficking, money laundering, cybercrimes, and passport and NADRA forgeries over the past year. The spotlight now centers on the agency’s Director General, Mohsin Butt, who is being held accountable for the perceived ineffectiveness of the FIA. Sources reveal that despite holding pivotal roles during the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf regime, Mohsin Butt retained his position even during the caretaker regime, raising questions about the influence that has safeguarded his tenure. This influence is rumored to be tied to his rapport with Mir Sarfaraz Bugti, cultivated during his service within the FIA. The FIA’s reputation has taken a hit since Mir Sarfraz Bugti assumed the role of Interior Minister, as the agency has become embroiled in controversy, seemingly without accountability. Notably, FIA service officers, including PSP officers, have maintained their positions within the agency for an extended period without repercussions. Allegations persist that Director General FIA Mohsin Butt is set to retire in December, amid accusations of amassing illegal assets worth billions of rupees during his tenures in Balochistan and the FIA. He is further alleged to have played a pivotal role in money laundering schemes, facilitating the transfer of ill-gotten wealth abroad, both for himself and Baloch leaders. Startling claims suggest that former Prime Ministers Imran Khan and Shehbaz Sharif favored Mohsin Butt for assistance in channeling billions of dollars abroad at their parties’ behest. While several high-ranking officials across the nation have been removed from their positions, Mohsin Butt has remained untouched, allegedly owing to his consistent financial contributions to politicians spanning various regimes. Calls for accountability within the FIA are growing louder as Pakistan grapples with these serious allegations. The nation watches with bated breath as investigations unfold, and questions about the agency’s integrity continue to mount. The coming months may prove pivotal in determining the fate of those involved and the path towards restoring trust in Pakistan’s law enforcement agencies.
