The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) has arrested two proclaimed offenders allegedly involved in human smuggling and visa fraud in Multan.
The arrests were made by the FIA Anti-Human Smuggling Cell during a targeted crackdown against suspected human traffickers and fraudsters.
Suspects Accused of Taking Millions
According to FIA sources, one of the arrested suspects was identified as Asad Gujjar, also known as Mehwish Jamil. He was wanted by authorities as a proclaimed offender.
The suspect allegedly received Rs165,000 from a citizen after promising to arrange employment for him in Saudi Arabia.
FIA sources further alleged that he received Rs13,020,000 from relatives of other citizens on similar promises.
The second suspect was identified as Abdul Aziz. He allegedly received Rs500,000 in connection with a similar case.
Both suspects were shifted to the FIA Circle Office. Further proceedings have been initiated against them as investigators examine the allegations and financial transactions linked to the cases.
FIA Continues Crackdown on Human Smuggling
The latest arrests are part of the FIA’s continuing action against human smuggling, illegal immigration and visa fraud.
In April 2026, the FIA Multan Zone had reported the arrest of three suspects allegedly involved in human smuggling and visa fraud. The agency also claimed to have recovered millions of rupees for victims.
The operations were conducted on the directions of FIA Director General Dr Usman Anwar and Multan Zone Director Attaur Rehman.
Earlier Case Involved Dubai Work Visa
During the April crackdown, FIA Anti-Human Trafficking Circle teams also arrested proclaimed offender Rashid Shabbir from Vehari.
According to the FIA spokesperson, Shabbir was wanted in a case registered earlier this year. He was accused of taking Rs400,000 from a citizen by promising to arrange a Dubai work visa but allegedly failed to provide it.
