An FIA spokesperson told Dawn News on Tuesday that the Composite Circle of FIA Gwadar conducted a raid on a tip-off and apprehended nine men attempting to travel illegally to Iran by sea.
The suspects lacked valid documents.
“They were allegedly planning to use Iran as a transit route to reach other countries,” the spokesperson told the newspaper.
In a separate operation, FIA officials have arrested five individuals, including four Iranians, who had entered Pakistan illegally through the Gabd land route at the Pak-Iran border.
