ISLAMABAD:
The Immigration unit of the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) at Islamabad International Airport foiled an attempt by two passengers to travel abroad using fake passport stamps, officials said.
An FIA official said on Sunday that the passengers, identified as Ameen Khan and Habibullah, were offloaded from an international flight bound for Malaysia.
The spokesperson said the two men belonged to Peshawar and Buner. He said FIA immigration officers detected that the passengers’ passports had fake departure stamps as well as forged Malaysian arrival stamps, indicating an attempt to falsify their travel history.
The official said both passengers were handed over to the FIA Anti-Human Trafficking Circle in Islamabad for further legal action. More arrests and legal proceedings are expected as the investigation continues.
