ISLAMABAD:
The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) immigration unit 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 spokesman said the two men belonged to Peshawar and Buner. He said FIA immigration officers discovered 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 FIA Anti-Human Trafficking Circle Islamabad for further legal action. More arrests and lawsuits are expected as the investigation continues.
