The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) conducted operations in various areas of Multan and arrested four travel agents involved in sending citizens to Saudi Arabia for begging, ARY News reported on Sunday.
According to an FIA spokesperson, the arrested agents are Sadiq Hussain, Mohammad Ejaz, Ghulam, and Ghulam Yaseen. The spokesperson explained that these arrests were made based on information provided by previously detained individuals, who revealed the agents’ involvement in the scheme.
The agents were allegedly orchestrating a network to send citizens to Saudi Arabia with the primary purpose of begging. Once there, the agents would collect a share of the money earned by these individuals through begging.
This crackdown follows the arrest of nine passengers the previous day, who were caught begging in Saudi Arabia. This series of arrests highlights the ongoing efforts by the FIA to dismantle human trafficking and exploitation networks.
