ISLAMABAD – The rumoured detention of pro-Pakistani American travel adventurist, Cynthia D Ritchie by the officials of Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) making rounds on social media has proven to be a blatant lie as facts corroborate something entirely different.
Ritchie, on Monday, was offloaded from Qatar Airways flight on Islamabad International airport, however, many media outlets including 7 News and stateviews which claimed that the FIA had offloaded and arrested her from an international flight either due to the expiration of visa or other issues related to her traveling documents.
Cynthia took to Twitter, clarified that she was offloaded due to an “incompetent official” of the Ministry of Interior, adding that the agency never arrested her as it was a minor issue, contrary to the reports circulating about her.
