PESHAWAR: The Excise Police seized 204kg of hashish from a car in Peshawar early Monday.

According to officials, the police received a tip-off about a vehicle, bearing registration number LEA 4889, transporting drugs. Officers signalled the car to stop on Inqilab Road, but the suspects ignored the order and attempted to flee.

As police pursued them, the smugglers opened fire. Officers returned fire, causing the vehicle to lose control and crash into a roadside wall. Taking advantage of the darkness, the suspects managed to escape before police arrived at the crash site.

The Excise Police confiscated the vehicle and recovered 204kg of hashish, worth millions in the market. A case has been registered at the Excise Peshawar Region Police Station, and efforts are underway to track down and arrest the suspects.
