PESHAWAR: The Anti-Narcotics Force (ANF) carried out a major operation in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, dismantling an inter-provincial drug trafficking network and recovering a substantial quantity of hashish.
An ANF spokesperson said the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Regional Directorate had received credible intelligence about a large cache of narcotics concealed among rocky cliffs at a dumping site in District Khyber.
The seized drugs were reportedly linked to the infamous Bara-based DTO gang, consisting of notorious smugglers from the Afridi tribe. The traffickers were allegedly preparing to move the narcotics to Punjab under the cover of night.
Acting on the tip-off, ANF personnel swiftly raided the identified location and confiscated 144 kilograms of hashish. A case has been registered against the suspects under the Control of Narcotic Substances Act, 1997.
