ISLAMABAD, Dec 18 (APP):Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) Immigration foiled an attempt to travel abroad on fake travel documents and offloaded a passenger at Islamabad International Airport.
An official told APP on Thursday that the passenger, identified as Abrar Ahmed, was attempting to travel to South Africa on a work visa via flight PF-784. During immigration clearance, his travel documents were found suspicious.
The official said Abrar Ahmed, a resident of Jhelum, was carrying a passport bearing a forged South African visa. Upon verification, the visa was confirmed to be fake.
Following initial action, the passenger was offloaded from the flight and handed over to the Anti-Human Trafficking Circle, Islamabad, for further legal proceedings.
The official added that further investigation is underway to determine the source of the fake visa and to identify any facilitators involved in the attempt.
FIA has reiterated that strict action will continue against individuals involved in the use or facilitation of fake travel documents.
