Federal Investigation Agency officials also lodged an FIR
against Syed Abdul Rahim Shah under the Passport Act.
The man was not authorised by the Ministry of Hajj and Religious Affairs nor did he have any Hajj licence.
He received more than Rs20 millions from intending pilgrims in connivance with his associates and went underground after the registration of the case.
One of his associates, Abdul Ghafoor, was said to have proceeded to Malaysia.
All the accused will be produced before a court of law for remand.
