Three alleged human traffickers arrested from Gujrat

GUJRAT: The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) in Gujrat on Monday arrested three suspects involved in human trafficking.

These detainees, identified as Muhammad Azam, Saddam Hussain, and Liaqat Cheema, are alleged to have been involved in aiding citizens in illegally crossing borders for several years. They used deceptive tactics, promising citizens guaranteed employment opportunities in foreign countries, and in return, collected substantial sums of money from unsuspecting civilians.

One disturbing case involves the accused obtaining Rs6 million from a citizen, promising to provide counterfeit documents that would enable his son and cousin to travel to Italy via Libya.
