Crew members of Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) allegedly took 34 Indian transit passengers to a hotel in Lahore to stay for a night, though they did not have a Pakistani visa, prompting authorities to launch a probe, the Press Trust of India (PTI) reported. The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) said in a report that Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) crew allegedly took the Indians out of the airport bypassing the check points manned by FIA. The Indian passengers flew from New Delhi on a PIA flight to Saudi Arabia with a stopover in Lahore, an official said. FIA alleged that PIA quietly transported them to a local hotel where they spent the night. However, FIA refused to share the exact date of the incident while PIA did not return the calls, PTI said.
