Pakistan Customs said an Islamabad Enforcement Collectorate team carried out an intelligence-led operation near the M-2 motorway on 2 October. The agency reported finding 1,200 kg of hashish, about 100 kg of poppy seeds, a firearm and a non-customs-paid Toyota Prado.

The agency said suspects fled and the vehicle and other items were taken into custody; it registered a case against unknown persons and opened an investigation. Valuations in the release are agency estimates, and the allegations do not establish a conviction.
