Passenger Offloaded at Islamabad Airport for Obtaining Saudi Tourist Visa Using Fake US PR Card

ISLAMABAD: The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) Immigration authorities have offloaded a passenger at Islamabad International Airport for allegedly obtaining a Saudi Arabian tourist visa using a fake US Permanent Resident (PR) card.

According to the FIA, the passenger was intercepted during secondary profiling while travelling to Saudi Arabia on Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) flight PK-841. The passenger is a resident of Peshawar district.

Officials said a detailed examination of his travel documents revealed that he had obtained the Saudi tourist visa using a fake US Permanent Resident card containing false information.

During the initial investigation, the passenger reportedly told authorities that he had obtained the visa after paying Rs220,000 to an agent named Hussain.

The FIA offloaded the passenger and handed him over to the Anti-Human Trafficking Circle Islamabad for further legal action.

Further investigation into the case is underway.
