An official said in the past couple of years, the writ and effectiveness of Customs Intelligence and Investigation had been reduced to almost nil by earlier team, and instead Customs I&I was patronizing the smugglers. It was also known that tyres of vehicles of ASO, I&I are flattened every night so that officers could not conduct raids. Now the Customs I&I is being restructured.

Principal Appraiser Irshad Shah has also been posted under Customs I&I Karachi.
