The flight was forced to turn back to Sydney after the man later identified as Arif Ali claimed to have “explosives” in his backpack, according to Australian police.
The incident caused alarm among passengers and crew of the flight, prompted evacuation once the authorities confirmed the safety of the aircraft.
Arif Ali is now a resident of Canberra, Australian Capital Territory, featured in renowned Pakistani singer Arar-ul-Haq’s song, “Preeto” and as an actor appeared in a sitcom, “Kollege Jeans”.
According to his LinkedIn profile, he graduated from NCA in 2002. He worked as an architect at a number of firms in Karachi and Lahore from 2002-2016.
The now viral posts on social media reveal how Arif Ali was causing scenes on a Kuala Lumpur-bound flight from Sydney and his appearance came as an utter shock for most of the netizens.
He can be seen fervently praying in the airplane’s aisle in the footage, and was observed repeatedly asking fellow passengers whether they considered themselves “a slave of Allah.”
