At Multan International Airport, airport security intercepted a passenger attempting to board a flight to Dubai with 316 grams of ice (a form of methamphetamine) hidden in his luggage. The individual was traveling on a private airline when security officials grew suspicious of him.
Airport Security Force (ASF) officers stopped the passenger for a routine check, and upon searching his travel bag trolley, they discovered the hidden drugs in a concealed compartment. The seized ice was handed over to the Anti-Narcotics Force (ANF) for further investigation.
The passenger, whose identity has not yet been disclosed, was detained by authorities and is currently under investigation. Authorities are working to determine whether he was acting alone or if the drugs were part of a larger smuggling operation. The ANF has also begun tracing the source of the illegal drugs to prevent further smuggling activities.
This action is part of ongoing efforts by airport authorities to crack down on drug trafficking. Multan International Airport, like other airports in Pakistan, has increased security measures and screening processes to detect and stop the illegal transportation of substances. The authorities are committed to ensuring the safety of travelers and preventing criminal activities from taking place.
The seizure of such a significant amount of drugs highlights the growing issue of illegal narcotics being trafficked through airports, and the importance of vigilance by security forces to stop such operations.
