In a significant anti-narcotics operation at Lahore Airport, authorities seized 28 capsules filled with “ice” (crystal meth) from the stomach of a passenger en route to Saudi Arabia.
The Anti-Narcotics Force (ANF) also arrested two individuals attempting to smuggle over 2.5 kilograms of drugs to Dubai.
This raid was part of a broader nationwide crackdown, resulting in 11 arrests during nine operations.
ANF recovered a total of 212 kilograms of drugs, including hashish and narcotic pills, from various locations across Pakistan. Notably, 20 kilograms of “ice” were recovered in Kasur, and 5 kilograms of opium were seized from suspects in Lahore.
In Islamabad, a suspect near a university confessed to selling drugs to students, while further investigations are underway.
ANF has registered cases under the Anti-Narcotics Act against the arrested individuals, and investigations are ongoing.
