Ambassador KK Ahsan Wagan had a valid US visa and all the necessary documents and was reportedly going to Los Angeles on a private visit. But US immigration officials stopped him at the airport and he was then deported.

During his career, he has served as Second Secretary at the Pakistani Embassy in Kathmandu. Apart from this, he has also served as Deputy Consul General at the Pakistani Consulate in Los Angeles, Ambassador of Pakistan in Muscat and the Pakistani Embassy in Niger.
