KARACHI, Dec 30 (PPI): A boat, Al-Mohammadi 2, carrying 329 Pakistanis arrested and deported by the Omani government reached home safely early on Saturday morning at Ghas Bander here.

On their arrival they were provided food and new clothes. On the special directives of the Director General of Federal Investigation Agency (FIA), Tariq Parvez, the senior officials from all the four provinces were present at the Ghas Bander, Keemari seaport to gather information on the agents involved in sending these people abroad on fake promises of better future.

Later they were released one at a time. The Ansar Burney Trust gave them cash so they could reach their homes.—PPI
