A trailer loaded with ghee belonging to a well-known brand worth millions of rupees mysteriously disappeared along with its driver and a worker onboard from the Hakla service area of Taxila police station in Rawalpindi. The trailer was reportedly found by the Peshawar police.

The police registered a case on the complaint of the manager of the logistics company, who was in charge of transporting the ghee, following court orders. The total value of the trailer itself and the ghee loaded on it is reportedly more than Rs45 million. According to the police, the manager of a private logistics company, Abdul Rashid, said that the company's trailer number TM1/768, which was carrying a well-known company's supply of ghee, left Karachi for Lawrencepur.

When it reached the Halka service area, unknown persons allegedly removed the trailer's tracker, causing communication with the vehicle to be lost. At that point, the company administration immediately tried to contact the driver Abdul Razzaq, however, his mobile phone was also found to be switched off. Despite conducting a search, the company was unable to trace the trailer or the driver.
