Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) Anti-Human Trafficking Cell arrested a human smuggler from Karachi’s Korangi area, identified as Attaul Rehman. The arrest is linked to a passport scam in which the accused allegedly exploited individuals seeking overseas employment.
Acting on intelligence and complaints, the FIA conducted a targeted operation in Karachi’s Korangi area, leading to the apprehension of Attaul Rehman. The accused is part of a network of human smugglers involved in a sophisticated passport scam.
Attaul Rehman is accused of promising overseas employment to individuals, collecting significant sums of money from them. The scam involved fraudulent activities, with victims paying for passports and employment opportunities that were never provided.
During the operation, law enforcement officials recovered several passports from the possession of Attaul Rehman and other individuals involved in the illicit activity. These passports are believed to have been obtained through fraudulent means.
The FIA is actively pursuing leads and conducting raids to apprehend other individuals connected to the passport scam. The agency aims to dismantle the entire network of human smugglers preying on unsuspecting victims.
Attaul Rehman and any accomplices identified during the investigation are likely to face charges related to human trafficking, fraud, and other offenses under Pakistani law.
The arrest of Attaul Rehman is a significant development in the fight against human smuggling and related scams. The FIA’s Anti-Human Trafficking Cell continues its efforts to eradicate such criminal networks, protect potential victims, and uphold the rule of law. Further details about the passport scam are expected to emerge as investigations progress.
