In a significant crackdown, the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) has busted human trafficking operations linked to India, resulting in the arrest of four persons. The arrests are connected to an Indian agent named Gautam Sharma based in Azerbaijan, who was allegedly involved in exploiting vulnerable citizens with the aim of sending them to Europe, specifically through Poland. Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has advised the authorities to take punitive action against human traffickers and has directed a comprehensive report on human trafficking and measures for effective prosecution. The FIA's efforts have been hailed as a major victory in the fight against human trafficking, and the government's commitment to taking strong action against those involved in this heinous crime is a welcome step. The arrests are a testament to the FIA's dedication to protecting the country's citizens and bringing perpetrators to justice.
