KARACHI : Pakistan Customs at Jinnah International Airport (JIAP) in Karachi foiled an attempt to smuggle heroin worth 200 million rupees from Karachi to Malaysia.
The Collector of Customs, Mr. Adeem Khan, received confidential information that an attempt would be made to smuggle heroin from Karachi to Malaysia. In light of this information, Collector Adeem Khan issued special instructions to Additional Collector Faisal Khan at the airport to prevent this possible smuggling.
