Separately, last month, the FIA Immigration Unit at Multan Airport foiled an attempt by a passenger to travel abroad using a fake iqama.
According to an FIA spokesperson, the passenger, Muhammad Muzammil, was scheduled to travel to Sharjah on flight PA-812. During immigration checks, officials found the iqama he presented to be fake and bogus.
The passenger also failed to provide valid protector documentation required for overseas employment.
He was immediately offloaded and handed over to the FIA Anti-Human Trafficking Circle for further investigation.
