Heroin smuggling: Five released on bail
Five of the seven people arrested on suspicion of smuggling heroin were on Friday released on bail. Four of the men were also acquitted in an inquiry led by Anti-Narcotics Force (ANF) officials.
The fifth, Muhammad Sagheer, faces departmental action. Those released on bail by Special Judge Abdul Majeed were workers at the textile export company – Ahmad Ali Bhatti, Furqan Aziz, Mansoor Malik and Saeed Tabassum.
Lateef Gill, owner of the textile company that exported the consignment, is accused of smuggling heroine to the UK in a textile container sent to TJ Fabrics in England.
Airport authorities at Yorkshire had caught two men on claiming the container and recovered 250 kilogramme heroin from 125 boxes in it.
