Pakistan’s ANF arrests 10 suspects in drug smuggling operations
The Anti-Narcotics Force (ANF) of Pakistan arrested 10 individuals involved in drug smuggling in operations across the country, said a statement.
A big consignment of about 31 kgs of narcotics has been recovered near the Line of Control (LoC) in the Poonch district, said a defence spokesman on Friday.
The consignment of narcotics was recovered by a joint operation by the Indian Army and J&K Police. The operation continued for two days on 19 and 20 January, said the spokesman.
The consignment in plastic packets is believed to have been dumped along the LoC by Pakistani agencies.
The Army and BSF have in the recent past seized consignments of narcotics at the LoC and international border that were flown through drones.
