The campaign falsely promised accommodation, transportation, and securing a sacrifice for pilgrims.
Authorities apprehended the individuals, took legal action, and referred them to the Public Prosecution, SPA reported.

Authorities warn that individuals caught engaging in such fraudulent activities will be penalized by the law.
