FIA takes action against Visa fraud. The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) has taken swift action against a criminal network involved in visa fraud and migrant smuggling. After receiving crucial information from the United States Embassy in Islamabad. In a coordinated operation, FIA authorities arrested two suspects believed to be key members of the gang. That exploited vulnerable people seeking overseas opportunities. Officials say the suspects were involved in arranging fraudulent visas and facilitating illegal migration. Often charging hefty sums for fake documentation and promises of overseas employment.
The action follows a tip‑off from the US Embassy. Which alerted Pakistani law enforcement to suspicious activities linked to visa irregularities and document forgery. The FIA acted on this intelligence, launching raids that led to the arrests. And the seizure of evidence tied to the ring’s operations.
FIA officials highlighted that such operations not only deceive individuals looking for legitimate travel opportunities. But also harm Pakistan’s international reputation. The agency has reaffirmed its commitment to pursuing all leads. And dismantling networks that exploit migrants and facilitate criminal activities across borders. Authorities have indicated that further arrests may follow as investigations continue. And urged citizens to report any suspicious offers related to travel, visas, or overseas employment.
This latest operation underscores ongoing efforts by Pakistani law enforcement to cooperate with international partners and crack down on fraud and human smuggling networks nationwide.
