On the tip-off provided by intelligence agencies, the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) has dismantled an international human trafficking network operating out of Lahore.
According to the FIA spokesperson, the network lured citizens with false promises of employment abroad and swindled them. The group, caught in Lahore, was producing fake documents at its own printing press. The press was involved in forging documents for several countries.
The FIA further revealed that the arrested network had connections with international human trafficking groups, commonly known as “dunky” networks. The investigation also uncovered the involvement of Indian and Afghan nationals in these criminal activities, exposing an Indian conspiracy aimed at tarnishing Pakistan’s image.
Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi praised the intelligence agencies and the FIA for their efforts in busting the network. He stated that the successful operation in Lahore marks a significant milestone in the fight against human trafficking.
Naqvi emphasized that more operations of this nature will continue to prevent human trafficking, vowing to go to any lengths to eradicate this crime. He assured that the mafia involved in human trafficking will be dealt with an iron hand.
