The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) has taken action against visa fraud by apprehending three individuals. Farooq Aslam and Ahsan Saddique, who allegedly posed as overseas employment promoters, have been arrested on charges of collecting substantial sums of money from complainants with the promise of arranging their travel to Australia. Additionally, Mansoor Akram has been arrested for accepting payments from individuals under the pretense of facilitating their overseas journeys.
In a related development, the FIA also arrested Afzal for his alleged involvement in an illegal foreign exchange case, while Muhammad Ramzan was apprehended in connection with hawala and hundi activities. To prevent falling victim to such schemes, the FIA has advised the public to exercise caution and verify the credentials of individuals or agencies before making any payments for overseas travel.
