ABBOTTABAD: In the largest anti-drug operation ever recorded in the Hazara region, Abbottabad Excise Police intercepted a massive drug shipment near Jhari Kis Interchange on Friday.
Acting on intelligence, officers led by Excise and Taxation Officer Masoodul Haq (Counter Narcotics Operations) and Circle Officer Irshadullah Afridi (Director Hazara Region) conducted a search operation. The search, supervised by Excise Police Station SHO Faisal Khan and Additional SHO Naseem Khan, targeted a vehicle bearing registration number AMU 13.
During the search, officers discovered and seized a staggering 336,000 grams (336 kilograms) of hashish hidden within the vehicle. The seizure successfully foiled an attempt to smuggle the illicit drugs.
