Pakistan: Senior cop found involved in cross-border drug smuggling via drones

By IBNS
Sep 1, 2023 ..

A case has been registered against a senior Pakistani police official in Lahore for his alleged involvement in cross-border drug smuggling via drones.


According to reports, he headed the anti-narcotics wing of the city police.

Lahore DIG (Investigation) Imran Kishwar confirmed the “involvement of a DSP”, saying that the official was booked by the ANF.

“We have constituted a high-powered committee of senior police officers to further expand the scope of the investigation into the illegal cross-border smuggling of the drug,” the DIG told Dawn.

He said that Lahore SSP Internal Accountability (IAB) Tauqeer Naeem would head the committee while SP Crime Record Officer Aftab Phularwan and a DSP would assist him in this matter.

Departmental action has already been initiated against the police officer, he said, adding that further proceedings would be made in the light of the inquiry report.

The issue was highlighted after a drone carrying six kilogrammes of drugs, worth millions of rupees, crashed in the outskirts of the provincial capital in July.

Sources told Dawn News that the issue was escalated to the prime minister after reports suggested that some elements were sending drugs from Kasur to India through drones.
