The police disclosed that the suspects faced charges in multiple drug cases, and a significant quantity of Hashish and Heroin, valued in millions, was confiscated from their possession. This follows earlier actions by the Anti Narcotics Force (ANF) in June, where a drug smuggling attempt was thwarted at Allama Iqbal International Airport in Lahore.

During a countrywide operation against drug trafficking, ANF and the Airports Security Force (ASF) arrested an individual who had ingested capsules filled with drugs. In this case, four hashish-filled capsules were recovered from the suspect’s stomach at Lahore’s airport.
