ISLAMABAD, (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 23rd May, 2026) Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) Immigration Islamabad offloaded two Afghan nationals travelling on fake Pakistani visas and forged immigration stamps during an operation at Islamabad International Airport.

An official told APP on Saturday that the passengers were travelling to the United Kingdom through Qatar Airways flight QR-633 when they were stopped for secondary profiling by FIA immigration authorities.

During detailed scrutiny, the Pakistani immigration stamps affixed on their passports and the Pakistani visas presented by the passengers were found fake and suspicious, the official said.
