Pakistan National Database Registration Authority: Entry Text The green-eyed "Afghan Girl" who once appeared on an iconic National Geographic cover has been caught up in an investigation into allegedly false documents that allowed her to live in Pakistan, according to Huffington Post Canada. Documents show that 46-year-old Sharbat Gula, going under the name "Sharbat Bibi," obtained a Computerised National Identity Card alongside two men who have been named as her sons, Pakistani newspaper Dawn reported Tuesday. Gula has reportedly been living in Pakistan on false documents. All three cards were illegally issued in one day last year to Gula, Rauf Khan and Wali Khan, sources at Pakistan National Database and Registration Authority told the news outlet. She allegedly did it using documents that falsely identified the two men as her sons, though other reports have said she has three daughters. "They may not be her sons but this is a common practice among Afghan refugees whereby they list names of non-relatives as their children to obtain documents," an anonymous NADRA source told Dawn. Four officials have been suspended from NADRA office in Hayatabad amid a probe into the cards, which can only be legally held by Pakistani nationals, reported AFP. Gula is reportedly among thousands of Afghan refugees who have obtained the cards.
