In September 2023, Federal Police in Sydney raided a home and seized electronic devices, an airline ticket, and identification documents related to a case of alleged exit trafficking. The suspect, Muhammad Bilal Khan, 35, is accused of deceiving his wife into believing they were going on a holiday to Pakistan. However, upon arrival, he allegedly took possession of her passport and other documents, left her stranded without any means to return home, and flew back to Australia alone with a one-way ticket. Police claim this action was facilitated through threat or deception. Khan appeared in Downing Centre Local Court where he was released on bail after being charged under human trafficking laws. This case highlights the issue of exit trafficking, where individuals are transported out of their home country against their will using coercion or deceit.
