During an operation at Karachi airport, the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) intercepted a passenger attempting to travel to Italy on a fake Afghan passport. The passenger, identified as Mohammad Ishaq Baru, was offloaded from flight TK709 when it was discovered that the Afghan passport he presented was counterfeit, including the fake Italian visa stamp.
Preliminary investigations revealed that the passenger had acquired the fake passport from an Afghan agent for a sum of 5000 Norwegian kroner.
Following the incident, the FIA transferred the passenger to the FIA Anti-Human Trafficking Circle Karachi for further investigation and legal proceedings.
