Canadian authorities have retrieved ice from the joggers (shoes) of Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) air hostess, Hina Sani, who was arrested on suspicion of illegal activity.
Hina remains detained and is yet to be granted bail. Canadian immigration officials are expected to present her before a local court soon.
The story takes a more complex turn with allegations that Hina might not be the sole actor. She reportedly named two other PIA officials stationed at the Toronto Airport who allegedly assisted her.
Canadian immigration officials reportedly questioned Faiza and Jameel late into the night, suggesting their potential involvement in the case.
Hina Sani currently awaits a court appearance and has not been granted bail. If deported, she will reportedly travel back to Pakistan as a passenger, not as crew.
Prior to her arrest, Hina had reportedly received warnings from Canadian authorities.
On the other hand, the case of Hina Sani, a PIA air hostess detained in Toronto on suspicion of illegal activity, has taken a surprising turn. After being initially released, reports now confirm she has been re-arrested and sent to jail.
A PIA spokesperson confirmed Sani’s transfer to jail, although the specific charges against her remain unclear. This development comes amidst the Easter holiday weekend, delaying her next court appearance until Wednesday.
Meanwhile, Pakistan’s Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) has reportedly contacted PIA seeking details about Sani's case. This suggests a potential wider investigation into the situation.
Adding another layer of complexity, reports indicate “influential circles” are pressuring PIA’s administration to reinstate Sani, despite her suspension.
Furthermore, an internal investigation within PIA has been launched by the Central Disciplinary Unit. This probe reportedly focuses on a manager and a flight scheduler, potentially linked to Sani’s case.
Allegations have also surfaced that PIA flight schedulers may have assigned staff with “no-fly declarations” to the Toronto route. Additionally, there are claims of crew members being engaged on “non-routine duties” by the General Manager of Flight Services.
