The FIA has arrested five suspects, including two female doctors, for their alleged involvement in an attempt to smuggle a nine-month-old infant from Karachi to Mozambique, The Express Tribune learnt on Wednesday.

According to sources, FIA Immigration officials at Jinnah International Airport intercepted a female passenger, identified as Kiran Sohail, who was attempting to board a flight to Mozambique while carrying a nine-month-old baby under suspicious circumstances.

When questioned, the woman reportedly confessed that the infant had been handed over to her at the airport by a woman named Yasmeen. She further revealed that all travel arrangements had been facilitated by an agent identified as Shazi.

Kiran admitted that she was in contact with two men, Suhail and Sohail Ali, based in Mozambique, as well as Yasmeen and Lakshmi Mukesh in Karachi. She also disclosed that a group of four accomplices had arranged fake documents — including a passport, airline tickets, and forged papers declaring her the biological mother of the infant. Among those arrested are two female doctors — one running a private NGO in Karachi and the other operating a private clinic.

The case, registered by the FIA’s Anti-Human Trafficking Circle, names Yasmeen as the prime accused, along with Mozambique-based Suhail and Sohail Ali, and the impersonating mother Kiran and her husband Sohail.
