The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) has denied reports claiming that mobile phones of overseas Pakistanis are being checked at airports.
In an official statement, the FIA clarified that its immigration department does not conduct such checks, and the circulated information is baseless and misleading.
The statement emphasized that the FIA strictly adheres to its mandate and legal framework, ensuring passengers’ dignity and privacy at all times.
It further noted that any inspections at immigration counters are carried out in accordance with relevant laws and are limited to cases involving specific suspicions as outlined by those regulations.
The public has been advised to rely only on official sources for accurate information and to avoid sharing unverified messages that cause unnecessary panic or confusion. The FIA also encouraged passengers to contact its helpline or visit its official website for any concerns or queries.
