Multan: The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) Immigration at Multan Airport arrested two passengers, including one wanted by the Counter Terrorism Department (CTD) Punjab for the past five years, officials said Saturday.
The arrested accused were identified as Qabil Khan and Muhammad Ashiq, hailing from Chiniot and Dera Ghazi Khan respectively.
Qabil Khan had been wanted by CTD police station Bhowana, Chiniot, since 2021. He attempted to fly to Saudi Arabia via flight FZ340, but was intercepted after his name surfaced on the stop list.
The second accused, Ashiq Hussain, was taken into custody after being deported from the United Arab Emirates. Officials said he had travelled abroad through fraudulent means and illegal channels, with no legitimate travel record found against his name.
FIA Immigration Multan handed over Qabil Khan to CTD and Ashiq Hussain to the Anti-Human Trafficking Circle (AHTC) Multan for further investigation.
Further investigation is under way.
