Three nabbed over human trafficking

The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) arrested three people, including a woman, from various parts of Lahore over their alleged involvement in human trafficking and visa fraud.

A spokesman for the agency said that the arrested suspects were identified as Meher Yar, Hasnain Ali and Miraj Fatima.

Hasnain had allegedly received Rs3.176 million from a man for sending him to Canada on work visa.

Meher Yar was caught red-handed collecting large sums of money from people under the pretence of securing foreign employment for them.

The officials seized 14 Pakistani passports from him.

Fatima was involved in collecting passports and other travel documents from people, claiming to facilitate their foreign travel.

Six passports and travel documents were seized from her.

The suspects had been accepting passports from people without a licence and failed to satisfy the authorities regarding the matter.
