Fia Arrests Gulshan Bibi At Karachi Airport For Human Trafficking

On February 24, 2026, the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) of Pakistan arrested Gulshan Bibi at Karachi’s Jinnah International Airport after her deportation from Saudi Arabia, where she was allegedly involved in unethical activities linked to a human trafficking network. The FIA's immigration officials noted that her suspicious behavior prompted further investigation upon her arrival. Bibi claimed that her travel was arranged by a Faisalabad-based agent, Tayyab Ali, and that she was subsequently handed over to a structured smuggling network in Saudi Arabia. The FIA is now pursuing additional arrests related to this case, indicating a broader crackdown on human trafficking operations. As stated in ProPakistani, "the agency added that operations are ongoing to track down and arrest other individuals believed to be involved in facilitating the alleged human smuggling ring." This incident highlights the ongoing issues of human trafficking and exploitation faced by Pakistani citizens abroad.
