Burney was taken into custody upon landing in Karachi on Wednesday, with the Anti-Human Trafficking cell of the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) overseeing his arrest, as per FIA sources. He faces grave allegations and has been under surveillance for an extended period, the sources added.

According to reports, Burney stands accused of human trafficking in the United States, with the allegations stemming from US officials’ reports to Pakistani authorities.
