In unrelated incidents, the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) Immigration Circle apprehended four passengers at Jinnah International Airport for possessing counterfeit visas in two separate operations.
According to an FIA spokesperson, three of the detained individuals were found with forged visas for Guinea, while the fourth arrived from Iraq with a fake visa. The arrested persons—Muhammad Javed, Muhammad Asghar, and Abdul Jabbar—allegedly paid significant sums to an agent for these counterfeit documents. Meanwhile, Daniyal from Dera Ismail Khan obtained his Iraqi visa for Rs. 250,000 through an agent, bypassing the official embassy channels.
