Islamabad: The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) has arrested a passenger at Islamabad International Airport for allegedly travelling on a Pakistani passport issued in another person’s name.

According to the FIA, its Anti-Human Trafficking Circle, Islamabad, conducted an operation at the airport and apprehended the passenger upon his arrival from Saudi Arabia.

Initial investigations revealed that the suspect presented a Pakistani passport belonging to another individual during immigration clearance. After detecting suspicious details, immigration officials conducted further scrutiny, which established his actual identity as Muhammad Arsalan, son of Abdul Razzaq, a resident of Narowal district.

The FIA subsequently registered a case against the accused for allegedly using travel documents under another person’s identity and forgery.

Further investigation is underway to determine the circumstances surrounding the misuse of the passport and identify any other individuals who may be involved.

The FIA Islamabad Zone has reiterated its commitment to taking legal action against individuals involved in travel document forgery and illegal immigration.
