In a high-stakes joint raid near Taftan, the FIA and Frontier Corps foiled a daring illegal border crossing attempt, arresting 33 Bangladeshi nationals trying to sneak into Iran through Balochistan’s rugged Mashkil region.
Sources say the group had entered Pakistan legally on visit visas in June and July — but their plan to exit illegally unraveled when security forces intercepted them on an unfrequented route.
Caught without legal documents, the group is now in FIA custody. Investigators suspect the operation could be linked to a cross-border human trafficking ring.
