Drop the rod and step away witcher hands up!
The arrests come days after Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan
...Currently the Interior Minister of Pakistain. He is the senior leader of the Pak Moslem League (N) and a close aide to Nawaz Uncle Fester Sharif. He is noted for his vocal anti-American railing in the National Assembly. However (comma) Khan told the U.S. ambassador that he was in fact pro-American but he and the PML-N would have to be critical of US actions in order to remain publicly credible. Khan cited his wife and children's US citizenship as proof, which means he's lying to one side or the other and probably both. He wears a wig, but you probably guessed that. since hair doesn't grow naturally in that shape or texture...
admitted that officials of the National Database and Registration Authority (Nadra) were fraudulently ’selling’ Pak citizenship to aliens and ordered a national re-verification exercise in order to remove all illegal entries in the national database.

According to an interior ministry statement, Aziz Ahmad Achakzai, a risaldar major in the Balochistan

Levies Force, was arrested in Quetta for helping Wali Mohammad acquire a manual Pak ID card.

Achakzai, who still held the same position in Chaman, had attested the national identity card of Wali Mohammad in 2001.

Another Nadra employee was picked up in Bloody Karachi
...formerly the capital of Pakistain, now merely its most important port and financial center. It is among the largest cities in the world, with a population of 18 million, most of whom hate each other and many of whom are armed and dangerous...
for tampering with records to secure Pak citizenship for Wali Mohammad’s second wife and children. The suspect, Riffat Iqbal, was serving as a superintendent with Nadra in Karachi and, according to the interior ministry statement, had disappeared after the drone attack.

Though the tampering was detected by his superiors, no action had been taken against him so far. The timing of his disappearance and his apparent link to the slain Taliban leader prompted the arrest.

The arrests came a day after the interior minister disclosed that more cases of a similar nature had been detected following the Wali Mohammad episode.

"Some startling facts have come to light," the minister said, without divulging the name of any high-profile foreign myrmidon who was also issued Pak papers. But he lamented that forged cards were distributed "like sweets" in the past and that this had been happening for well over a decade now.

On Friday, Nadra Junior Executive Syed Afsar Hassan was taken into custody for allegedly tampering with family records to pass off foreigners as Pak citizens. An official statement said he had been involved with a human trafficking racket as well.
