LAHORE: Customs Preventive Lahore General Post Office (GPO) has seized 400 gram rare drug worth millions of rupees from a parcel, sources told Customs Today the other day.
The sources said that the customs GPO authorities detected the drug from a parcel which was very tactfully wrapped in a parcel and sent from Norway.
The sources said that the drug was estimated at Rs 7 million. The customs authorities have registered a case against the person mentioned on the parcel.
A source informed that this is a valuable drug as it is rarely available worldwide and normally well-to-do people use it paying huge sum of money.
The drug is worldwide banned and thus it is illegal to import and export thus people often try to get their drugs cleared in such ways.
The customs team that seized and initiated the case included assistant collector Asim Awan, superintendent Customs Amjad Ch, Inspector Shahnawaz Langriya and Manzar Muzafar Bhati.
The parcel was sent from Norway to a resident of Faysal Town. The customs authorities registering a case have started further investigation besides constituting a team to arrest the wrongdoers.
