Fugitive accused of Sargodha murder arrested in Oman, shifted to Pakistan

A fugitive wanted in a murder case was arrested from Oman and shifted to Pakistan on Saturday after a major international operation led by the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA).

The accused, identified as Ali Hayat, was taken into custody from the Gulf state after a major operation by the FIA’s National Central Bureau (NCB), which acts as a contact for Interpol.

After the arrest, the authorities shifted the said person to Islamabad Airport to face legal proceedings in the country.

A formal case was registered against the accused on charges of murder at Bhagtanwala Police Station, Sargodha in 2024.
