LONDON: The British authorities are investigating how a United Kingdom (UK) citizen flew to Pakistan using his sisters passport before he was discovered by Pakistani officials and sent back.
According to a report in The Times, 26-year-old Kasim Raja from Moseley, Birmingham, travelled to Pakistan unknowingly on his younger sisters passport.
Following the incident, security at Britains Birmingham airport was criticised as a total failure.
Raja passed three security checks unchallenged before boarding a flight to Islamabad. It was only on arrival that passport control staff noticed the error and he was sent back to the UK.
The paper said Swissport, which handles check-in procedures for the airline at Birmingham, has promised to investigate
