What it found out will break hearts across Pakistan and the world. After Arshad was discovered – courtesy of Jiah Ali’s photograph of him during a photo-walk – scores of modelling and film offers piled up for the chaiwala. As per NADRA, after becoming a celebrity, Arshad applied for a Pakistani CNIC using fraudulent documents, which he received in June this year. He went a step further and applied for a Pakistani passport as well. It was during scrutiny of Arshad's documents at the passport office that red flags began to show. The passport office staff put his passport on hold. However, using his celebrity status, Arshad managed to put pressure and had his passport issued nonetheless. What the chaiwala didn't know was that he had caught the attention of NADRA's investigation unit. Sources told Geo News that Arshad and his family hail from Kandahar in Afghanistan and, in order to acquire Pakistani documents, portrayed themselves as members of the Moosakhel clan. According to NADRA sources, Arshad Khan portrayed himself to be the only child born from Baaz Khan's only marriage to Saran Bibi.

Who is Arshad Khan?
Arshad Khan is the son of Baaz Khan and Saran Bibi, both Afghan refugees holding Afghan Refugee cards according to NADRA. Saran Bibi is Baaz Khan's second wife, according to NADRA. During a photo-walk in 2016, Jiah Ali captured a photograph of the Chaiwala which had female admirers swooning in Pakistan and soon across the world. After catapulting from the Chai stall to appearing on TV shows and being featured in news reports globally, Arshad even tried his hand at modelling and starred in Muskan Jay’s song "Beparwai"; the song, however, led to some distress for Khan back home. “Before I was living a poor life, I was working as a labourer. I faced poverty. I spent my whole life in poverty. Now with the grace of Allah, I am honoured and have an opportunity to move forward,” Arshad had said earlier. It appears the man who once had the world swooning, is in the eyes of the law a criminal. Meanwhile, Afghan Ambassador to Pakistan, Dr. Omar Zakhilwal, confirmed on Twitter that Arshad Khan was indeed an Afghan national.
