LAHORE: Sharjah authorities have deported five Pakistani nationals after they were found in possession of counterfeit United Kingdom visas.
According to official sources, the deported travellers were immediately detained upon their arrival at Lahore Airport, where law-enforcement personnel took them into custody.
The individuals involved have been identified as Waqar, Tayyab, Ali Shan, Zaheer, and Zeeshan.
Earlier this year, the passengers had departed from Lahore to Malaysia on valid visit visas. After completing their stay in Malaysia, the group attempted to travel from Sharjah to the United Kingdom using falsified documents.
Investigations revealed that the suspects had acquired the fake UK visas with the assistance of human-smuggling agents. Once Sharjah authorities detected the forged documents, all five individuals were deported back to Pakistan.
Upon landing in Lahore, the suspects were transferred to the Anti-Human Smuggling Circle Lahore for further interrogation and legal proceedings.
