ISLAMABAD: Minister for Interior and Narcotics Control Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan on Wednesday held a telephonic conversation with Anti-Narcotics Force (ANF) Director General Major General Musarat Nawaz Malik and discussed the case of presence of narcotics in an airplane of the Pakistan International Airlines (PIA).

The ANF DG informed the minister about the progress made in the investigation in the narcotics case.

The minister was briefed that important success had been achieved in the PIA airplane narcotics case and due to that some arrests were also made. “More progress is expected in the case in the coming days,” Chaudhry Nisar was told.

The minister said, “The attempt to smuggle narcotics through the national airlines was a grave crime and a bid to damage the country’s honour and reputation.”

He said, “The people involved in the incident did not deserve any leniency.” The minister directed the DG to conclude the investigation as early as possible.
