The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) on Friday intensified passenger screening at Lahore International Airport, intercepting a passenger carrying a passport bearing fake immigration stamps and arresting another suspect wanted in a separate case.
According to an FIA spokesperson, passenger Sohrab Khan, who was travelling to Colombo on SriLankan Airlines flight UL-154, was found suspicious during immigration clearance. A detailed examination revealed fake immigration stamps on his Pakistani passport.
The suspect was handed over to the FIA Anti-Human Trafficking Circle, Lahore, for further investigation and legal action.
In another operation, the FIA arrested a wanted suspect, identified as Abdul Wakeel Khan, upon his arrival from Dubai on flight 9P-503.
During immigration clearance, his name was found on the Provisional National Identification List (PNIL). The suspect had been wanted by the FIA Gujranwala since 2025 and was handed over to the relevant authorities for further legal proceedings, the spokesperson added.
