MULTAN - The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) Immigration authorities at Multan Airport thwarted an attempt by a government employee to travel abroad using a counterfeit No Objection Certificate (NOC). According to FIA sources on Saturday, passenger Mohsin Ali was offloaded from Flight No. PA812 bound for the United Arab Emirates (UAE) after immigration officials identified discrepancies in the documents presented during the clearance process.
Passenger Details
The passenger was reportedly serving as a ward servant at the District Health Authority in Vehari. Initial investigations revealed that Mohsin Ali had submitted an NOC for overseas travel which was found to be forged during the verification process.
Involvement of Official
FIA officials stated that the fake document was allegedly arranged with the involvement of an official identified as Naveed Imran, who is posted at the District Health Authority, Vehari.
