Islamabad, Pakistan (HRNW) – The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) Immigration Wing carried out an operation at Islamabad International Airport, offloading four passengers who were attempting to travel abroad using fake travel documents.
According to FIA officials, the passengers — Muhammad Imran, Mian Tauseef, Sultan Afzal, and Abdul Rehman — were scheduled to depart for New Zealand on Flight No. CZ8070 under alleged work visas.
Preliminary investigations revealed that the work visas were counterfeit, and the passports bore fake protector stamps purportedly issued from the Rawalpindi, Abbottabad, and Peshawar offices.
The detained passengers have been handed over to the Anti-Human Trafficking Circle, Islamabad, for further investigation and to help identify the agents involved in the scam.
