KARACHI: A special team of Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) visited the head office of software company, Axact, in the DHA for the second consecutive day on Wednesday and decided that some of its members would stay there till completion of inquiry into the alleged fake degrees scam.

The FIA team spent around three hours at the offices of Axact and FIA’s deputy director Kamran Attaullah told journalists later that the company’s administration was ‘cooperating’ with them in the probe.

Mr Attaullah said they had not sealed the offices nor seized its record.

“The FIA team members would stay round the clock at the Axact office till completion of probe into allegations of fake degrees,” he said.

Mr Attaullah disclosed that they had recorded the statement of the company’s manager of human resources and if need be they could record the statement of Axact’s head Shoaib Ahmed Sheikh.

The FIA official refuted reports in certain sections of media that ‘evidences’ had been found about alleged fake degrees scam from the Axact’s offices.
