LAHORE, Dec 06 (APP):Five Pakistani citizens were deported from Sharjah for attempting to travel to the United Kingdom using fake visas and were taken into custody immediately upon arrival at Lahore Airport.
The deported individuals have been identified as Waqar Anjum, Tayyab Iftikhar, Ali Shan, Malik Zaheer and Malik Zeeshan.
According to FIA’s spokesperson, the passengers had initially travelled from Lahore to Malaysia on visit visas earlier this year. After their stay in Malaysia, they attempted to travel from Sharjah to the United Kingdom using forged documents.
The suspects had obtained the fake visas with the assistance of agents.
Following detection of the forged documents, authorities in Sharjah deported the individuals to Pakistan.
Upon their return, they were handed over to the FIA Anti-Human Trafficking Circle, Lahore for further investigation, which is currently underway, the spokesperson added.
