A man attempting to travel abroad was arrested at Jinnah International Airport in Karachi after authorities found out more than 47 illegal visas stored on his mobile phone.
The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) spokesperson revealed that the suspect, identified as Aliyan Zaman, was about to board a flight to Malaysia on a visit visa when he was detained by immigration officials.
Upon inspecting his mobile phone, authorities found dozens of visas, including those for Cyprus, allegedly intended for Pakistani and Bangladeshi nationals.
According to FIA sources, Aliyan Zaman, a resident of Attock, had a plan to travel from Malaysia to the United Kingdom (UK) with the assistance of an agent.
He had already paid Rs 400,000 to the agent, with a total of PKR 2.8 million agreed upon for the illegal immigration attempt with payments were made through both cash and microfinance accounts.
