The co-accused were identified as Dubai-based businessman Muhammad Awais and property dealer Mumtaz. They have yet to be arrested but efforts are being made to bring them to Pakistan, the investigators said.
Custom officials arrested Ayyan from Islamabad airport on March 14 allegedly for money laundering. The model was caught with $500,000 which she was allegedly smuggling to Dubai. As a result, she was sent on a 14-day judicial remand to Adiala jail.
