A Dubai-bound traveller was detained in Karachi for using forged documents.

The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) Immigration stopped a passenger at Jinnah International Airport Karachi from boarding a flight to Dubai. The traveller, Muhammad Zubair, was discovered to be using forged documents.

Muhammad Zubair planned to fly to Dubai on international flight G9547. However, FIA officers conducting periodic checks on his travel paperwork discovered anomalies.

Closer scrutiny revealed that, while Muhammad Zubair’s Pakistani passport included a legitimate Dubai work visa, the South African visa linked to his passport was forged.

The FIA responded quickly, apprehending Muhammad Zubair and transporting him to the FIA Anti-Human Trafficking Circle in Karachi for further investigation.
