KARACHI: The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) has arrested a woman who was deported from Saudi Arabia for involvement in immoral activities. She was detained at Jinnah International Airport after returning to Pakistan.
Officials said the woman, a resident of Bahawalpur, was flagged during immigration clearance due to suspicious behavior. A detailed investigation followed, revealing her connection to a human trafficking network.
The woman admitted that a Faisalabad-based agent, Tayyab Ali, helped her travel abroad. Upon reaching Saudi Arabia, she was reportedly handed over to an organized trafficking ring, which exploited her for illicit purposes.
Authorities confirmed that she had faced legal action in Saudi Arabia before being deported. After her arrival in Karachi, FIA officials took her into custody for further legal proceedings.
The FIA is actively investigating the case and has launched raids to arrest other facilitators involved in the trafficking network. Officials emphasized their commitment to dismantling criminal operations that exploit vulnerable individuals abroad.
This incident highlights the risks faced by citizens who fall prey to human trafficking networks while traveling overseas. Authorities urged the public to remain cautious and report suspicious activities to law enforcement.
FIA Karachi stated that their ongoing efforts aim to protect Pakistani citizens and prevent further cases of exploitation abroad. The woman will undergo legal proceedings in Pakistan as investigations continue.
Officials also advised families to verify travel arrangements and avoid unregistered agents who promise overseas employment or other opportunities. These steps are part of broader measures to combat human trafficking and protect citizens from illegal networks operating internationally.
