It further reported that more than 618,877 Pakistanis have been deported from 138 countries since 2015, according to the official data the Geo News obtained exclusively.

The average deportation of Pakistanis during the six-year period amounts to 321,590 (147 per day) from Saudi Arabia which is 52 percent of the total deportees.
