Islamabad : July 17,2024 : The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) spokesman on Wednesday said a significant achievement was made for two missing children who were safely recovered upon their arrival at Islamabad Airport from Bishkek.
This marks the first successful case under the newly integrated INTERPOL system with the Integrated Border Management Information System (IBMIS), a major initiative spearheaded by the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) under the direction of Director General Ahmad Ishaque Jahangir, PSP, PPM.
The children, Muhammad Huzaifa and Ahmed Umair Abid, were reported missing by the Punjab Police in a case registered at Police Station Barki, Lahore in 2022.
In response, NCB- INTERPOL Pakistan issued yellow notices to facilitate their recovery. The INTERPOL Find System, which was integrated into the FIA’s operations in April this year, played a crucial role in this successful operation. The newly implemented system connects the immigration database with INTERPOL’s global database, enabling efficient tracking of missing persons and stolen passports. It also aids in the apprehension of wanted criminals upon their arrival in Pakistan.
The close collaboration between INTERPOL Islamabad and FIA Immigration Islamabad was instrumental in the recovery. FIA Immigration Islamabad has handed over the children to the concerned police officials for further action.
DG FIA commended the team of INTERPOL and Immigration at Islamabad Airport for their exemplary performance.
