PESHAWAR, July 13:: The FIA immigration authorities at Peshawar airport on Thursday detained two persons who were trying to board Riyadh-bound planes on forged documents, an official said.

Siraj Khan, a resident of the Khyber Agency, wanted to board a Qatar Airways flight for Riyadh.

The immigration staff had detected that his passport picture had been tampered. Later, Siraj admitted to his crime, an FIA official said.

Another person, Nadir, was also stopped from boarding a Saudi Airlines flight to Riyadh for presenting a tampered passport to immigration officials.
