LAHORE: The Customs Intelligence has seized a non-customs paid vehicle after strong resistance from the owner, who could not provide any legal documents.
According to a senior officer, the Customs Intelligence staff intercepted the said vehicle near Gulshan-e-Iqbal and asked the owner to provide tax documents. The owner instead of providing documents on the spot quarrelled with the staff and called his people and tried to snatch the vehicle from the Customs intelligence staff. They mishandled and misbehaved with the officials.
The driver resisted as the Dolphin squads immediately responded. The owner threw keys of the vehicle in a nearby drain.
In the meanwhile they tried to throw stones on the vehicle and then escaped with vehicle while using duplicate key of the vehicle. The dolphin force staff followed along with Customs staff and tried to stop the vehicle near Yateem Khana chowk. The driver refused to come out and resisted strongly.
Subsequently the vehicle was shifted to Nawan Kot police station for legal proceedings. It was handed over to Customs at later hours as per procedure.
