ISLAMABAD:
The immigration unit of the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) at the 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 disembarked from an international flight bound for Malaysia.
The spokesperson said the two belonged to Peshawar and Buner. He said FIA immigration officers detected that the passengers’ passports bore fake departure stamps as well as fake Malaysian arrival stamps, indicating an attempt to falsify their travel history.
The official said the two passengers were handed over to the FIA Anti-Human Trafficking Circle in Islamabad for further legal action. Additional arrests and prosecutions are expected as the investigation continues.
