Apex court irked by ANF’s failure to curb narcotics

ISLAMABAD:

The Supreme Court on Monday adjourned the hearing of a bail plea filed by a courier company manager in a narcotics case, directing the Anti-Narcotics Force (ANF) to submit the accused’s CCTV footage to the court.

The two-member bench, led by Justice Jamal Khan Mandokhail, questioned how drugs were reaching urban areas and why they were not being intercepted at the border. He noted that the issue was not limited to a few kilograms, as narcotics were entering the country in tons.

The court adjourned further hearing on the manager’s bail plea and instructed the ANF to present the accused’s CCTV footage before the bench in the next session.
