LAHORE: Special federal court of customs taxation and anti-smuggling has disposed of the post-arrest-bail pleas of two accused in Rs8.3million cloth smuggling case.
Two accused Rehmat Ali and Nasir Khan were held by the customs intelligence. Customs intelligence had also recovered a big quantity of imported cloths and related goods from their possession. Customs intelligence counsel, during a hearing of the case on Tuesday, told the court that accused were involved in smuggling of cloths into Lahore and Faisalabad from Afghanistan via different routes.
They had caused a big loss to the national kitty following taxes and duties.
Earlier in the last week customs investigation team presented them before the customs court and asked for their physical remand to dig out the network behind this smuggling mafia. On the request, special federal court of customs taxation and anti-smuggling Shakeel Ahmad had approved their physical remand after which they were remanded to jail.
