Peshawar: Khyber Medical University (KMU) Peshawar has detected two fake degrees in the field of Allied Health Sciences, which were submitted to the University for Verification. According to details, on July 9, 2025, two individuals, Muhammad Shaban S\/O Ajaz Hussain and Muhammad Issa S\/O Kiramat Khan, submitted applications for the verification of their Bachelor of Science in Radiology Technology degrees, claiming to be graduates of the Northwest Institute of Allied Health Sciences, Peshawar. However, upon thorough scrutiny of official records by the KMU Examination Department, it was found that no such degrees had ever been issued under the mentioned names and particulars by KMU.
