Key operative of inter-provincial cocaine network held

The SIU police have arrested an alleged key member of an inter-provincial drug network during a raid in DHA Phase II. The arrested suspect, identified as Rashid, is an important operative of the "Triple A" brand cocaine network. The police recovered 219 grams of high-quality cocaine from his possession, estimated to be worth Rs1.5 million.

The arrested accused was involved in the delivery of cocaine to the network's riders. During interrogation, the suspect revealed that he was engaged in this illicit trade where the cocaine would be delivered hidden inside grinder machines. Each grinder machine contained 50 packets of cocaine taped to its internal parts.

Once the parcel was received, the suspect would confirm delivery by sending a photo to his boss, Hassan Shah, via WhatsApp. Hassan Shah, who manages 17 riders across Karachi, would then issue instructions via WhatsApp, assigning each rider the customer's number and location for delivery. According to the spokesperson, the arrested suspect further disclosed that each packet bore the "AAA" brand and a barcode, ensuring 100% purity and accurate weight.
