An official told APP on Monday that the passenger, identified as Muhammad Shafiq, was travelling to Greece on Emirates flight EK-615 on May 2, 2026, when he was intercepted during immigration clearance.
He said the suspect was flagged by airline staff, prompting a detailed examination of his travel documents.
