The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) officials said that Firdous offloaded as she was trying to travel on a blue passport. The authorities have also confiscated her blue passport, the FIA said.

Firdous said that she was going to Dubai to attend an event. I had the valid UAE visa on my blue passport while her personal passport did not had the visa.

Then I’ll leave for Dubai, she said. Later on she left for her home from the airport.
