The arrested man, whose name was placed in the agency’s Red Book 2009 and had Red Warrants issued against him by Interpol, has been identified as Ajab Gul alias Raja Humayun and is a resident of Kharian.
The human trafficker was arrested by the FIA team when he was trying to flee to India via the Azad Kashmir border, Deputy Director FIA Gujranwala Gul Sanober told The Express Tribune.
Sanober said that he was wanted by the FIA in 15 cases and 50 inquiries registered against him with the Anti-Human Trafficking Circle Gujranwala Police Station. The man’s name had been placed in the Red Book published in 2009 because of his “high profile” status.
The FIA had been trying to arrest the accused for the last three years, but had found it difficult as he was travelling with over five armed men when he came to Pakistan via the Iranian border, Sanober revealed.
