Pakistani citizen Ullah Naeem Khan Navvab has been detained within the framework of measures to combat transnational organised crime and illegal migration.
The State Security Service (SSS) of Azerbaijan informs that the agency received information that he and other persons are engaged in kidnapping people on the territory of Azerbaijan.
During the investigation it was established that Ullah Naim Khan Navvab (born in 1992), having entered into a criminal conspiracy with other persons, fraudulently lured his compatriot Sheraz Muhammad Afzal to Azerbaijan.
