ISLAMABAD: The FBR’s Collectorate of Customs (Enforcement), Multan, foiled a smuggling bid and seized 30 kilograms of silver valued around Rs13.4 million during an operation near Bawata in the tribal region of Dera Ghazi Khan.
Acting on credible information and in coordination with the local authorities, the Anti-Smuggling Organization (ASO) intercepted a passenger bus and conducted a detailed examination.
During the inspection, ASO officials recovered silver bars weighing around 30 kilograms from an unclaimed luggage. No passenger came forward to claim ownership or produce valid import or purchase documents, confirming the smuggled nature of the consignment.
The seized silver has been taken into custody under the provisions of the Customs Act, 1969. Further investigation is underway to identify the source, route and intended recipients of the smuggled goods and to apprehend those involved in the smuggling network.
