A passenger, identified as Aliyan Zaman, was arrested at Karachi’s Jinnah International Airport on Tuesday after Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) officials discovered over 47 visas stored on his mobile phone. The suspect was attempting to travel to Malaysia on a visit visa but was detained by FIA immigration officials.
Upon inspection, Zaman’s mobile device revealed dozens of visas, including those for Cyprus, intended for Pakistani and Bangladeshi nationals. According to FIA sources, Zaman had planned to travel from Malaysia to the United Kingdom with the help of an agent, for which he had already paid PKR 400,000, with a total of PKR 2.8 million agreed upon for the illegal immigration attempt.
Authorities also found a Cambodian visa among the documents stored on Zaman’s phone. Unable to provide satisfactory explanations regarding the visas, the suspect was transferred to the FIA’s Anti-Human Trafficking Circle (HTC) in Karachi for further investigation.
This incident highlights the ongoing issue of human trafficking and illegal immigration, and the measures taken by authorities to combat such activities.
