GUJRANWALA, April 4: The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) on Wednesday arrested some 26 people who were deported from Turkey. Reports said that they were going to Greece en route Iran and Turkey along with their agents when they were arrested by the border security in Turkey. Later, they were deported to Pakistan by air. The agency’s raiding party nabbed all the deportees as soon as they came out of the Islamabad airport and brought them to Gujranwala.
FIA passport cell deputy director Hussain Asgher said that these deportees belonged to Gujranwala, Sialkot, Gujrat and Mandi Bahauddin. He said that arrested men were being interrogated about their agents.
DEMO: Scores of tractor-trolley owners demonstrated against the motorway police for not allowing them to ply their vehicles on the GT Road.
They also demanded that motorway police officials involved in manhandling the drivers should be taken to task.
Reports said that protesters parked their vehicles laden with sand and bricks along the road outside the motorway police head office in Seithi Colony, Rahwali. They alleged that the motorway police were imposing heavy fines and manhandling the drivers despite the fact that their vehicles laden with earth and bricks were properly covered with sheets.
They threatened to block the GT Road by parking their vehicles in front of the motorway police head office on Friday (tomorrow) if their genuine demands were not met.
