More than 50 passports carrying foreign visas have reportedly been stolen from a private courier company’s delivery bag in Rawalpindi. The missing documents had been sent from Karachi to a travel agent and included visas for Saudi Arabia and other countries.
The bag also contained mobile phones, parcels, important paperwork and other valuables belonging to several citizens. The incident has raised concerns among affected individuals, particularly those who had invested substantial sums to secure overseas employment.
Stolen Passports Leave Overseas Job Applicants Facing Uncertainty
According to the reported details, the affected citizens had collectively spent millions of rupees obtaining visas and arranging employment abroad. However, the disappearance of their passports has created uncertainty about their travel plans and job opportunities.
The missing documents could disrupt their planned departures, although the full impact remains unclear. The stolen bag reportedly contained documents belonging to multiple individuals, making the incident particularly concerning for those awaiting overseas travel.
Police Register Case at Banni Police Station
Police registered a case at Rawalpindi’s Banni Police Station following a complaint from a representative of the courier company. Investigators have launched an inquiry to establish the circumstances surrounding the reported theft and identify those responsible.
Meanwhile, a copy of the first information report (FIR), photographs purportedly showing a suspect and copies of the stolen passports have reportedly surfaced. However, the available information does not establish whether police have identified or arrested any suspect.
Affected Citizens Seek Help From Authorities
Affected citizens have reportedly complained about receiving inadequate assistance from the courier company and the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA). They have raised concerns over the handling of the missing passports and the uncertainty surrounding their travel arrangements.
However, the available account did not include responses from either organisation regarding the complaints. It also provided no confirmed details about the recovery of the passports or the progress of the investigation.
For now, police are investigating the reported theft, while affected citizens await further information about their missing documents. The case has left those relying on the visas and passports concerned about possible delays to their overseas travel and employment plans.
