The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) on Saturday arrested a most wanted human trafficker whose name was placed on its red book (a document listing high-profile human smugglers).
The FIA’s Islamabad wing, under supervision of Deputy Director Saim Sultan, conducted an operation in Rawalpindi and arrested a most wanted human trafficker – KhurramIqbal – whose name was placed on its red book for the year 2023.
KhurramIqbal was involved in a web of crimes related to human trafficking and had faced more than five cases. The authorities had also launched over 11 ongoing inquiries into his illicit activities. The arrested accused was involved in duping innocent victims by promising to facilitate their travel abroad. Under this pretence, he extorted millions of rupees from his victims.
Earlier in September, the FIA issued the Red Book containing names of the most wanted human smugglers.
