New Delhi (NVI): A Saudi flight carrying 258 Pakistanis deported from Saudi Arabia landed in Multan today. According to the Saudi government, these Pakistani citizens were deported for their alleged involvement in criminal activities.
A team of the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) arrested the suspects and took them into their custody, reports Geo News.
This is the second such deportation in less than a week as last Wednesday, a flight carrying 30 Pakistanis deported from Greece reached Islamabad, while 139 deportees from Saudi Arabia had arrived in Multan. All the deported Pakistanis were found to be involved in criminal activities, according to the Saudi government.
Geo News further reported that on a “request” from the Embassy of Greece, the Pakistan foreign ministry had asked its Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) to allow the flight to land on Pakistani soil.
