Three fake travel agents nabbed

The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) on Friday arrested three individuals involved in an organized network of human smuggling and visa fraud. The arrests were made during joint operations conducted by the FIA's Anti-Human Smuggling Circles of Multan and Dera Ghazi Khan.

The suspects, identified as Mujahid Hussain, Muhammad Qasoor and Inam-ul-Haq were apprehended from Vehari, Multan and Kot Chutta tehsil in Dera Ghazi Khan.

According to FIA officials, the accused had been running a fraudulent operation that promised overseas jobs and visas to unsuspecting victims but failed to deliver after extorting significant sums of money.

Inamul Haq deceived a victim by promising to send him to Saudi Arabia, extorting Rs800,000 in the process. Muhammad Qasoor took Rs5,40,000 from another individual, falsely claiming to secure employment in Bahrain.
