An apparent attempt at human trafficking failed horribly when a man died after falling out of a cargo plane shortly after it took off from the Lahore airport, officials and local residents said Saturday.
Muhammad Afzal, a resident of Al-Faysal Town near the airport, said he was watching TV with his family when he heard something fall on the roof of his house on Friday night. “I rushed upstairs and found a dead man,” he said.
Neighbours gathered following the “very unusual” incident, Afzal said. Police came to his home and took the body to the city morgue.
Police officer Rana Irhaam said: “Our initial investigations suggest that the man, in his twenties, fell from a cargo plane from a height of not less than 700 feet after it took off.”
An official of the Civil Aviation Authority said, “It was probably a case of human smuggling. Someone in the airport helped the unfortunate young man to stow away in the cargo plane.”
