In a significant breakthrough, the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) has successfully collaborated with Interpol to apprehend two wanted murder suspects who had fled abroad to evade arrest.
The joint operation, conducted in coordination with Interpol Riyadh, resulted in the arrest of the accused individuals, Sultan Khan and Sair Ali, from Saudi Arabia.
Both suspects, Sultan Khan and Sair Ali, were wanted by Punjab Police in separate murder cases dating back to 2021 and 2023, respectively. Sultan Khan had a murder case registered against him at Gadai Police Station, DG Khan, while Sair Ali was sought by authorities in Karianwala Police Station.
