Pakistan Customs has seized contrabands worth Rs61.8 million during a major operation at the Jinnah International Airport and took four passengers into custody who brought the consignment from Dubai, UAE.The passengers, who arrived in Karachi on the Airblue flight A111, have been identified as Azhar Iqbal, Muhammad Faisal, Amjad Gul, and Zal Noreen.

Customs officials’ suspicion led to a thorough checking of the passengers’ luggage with the help of scanners, which yielded an array of contrabands.The seizures included 27 laptops, 5kg of cosmetics, 36 iPhones, 37 watches, 65 iPads, 1,250 computer RAM modules, 472 cartons of foreign cigarettes, 59 Apple pencils, 97 Airpods, and 21 MacBooks – all of which were being smuggled into the country without the payment of duty and taxes.

One of the arrested passengers initially claimed to be a former MNA. However, subsequent verification revealed this claim to be false.
