The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) Interpol has successfully apprehended two most wanted criminals in Bahrain. Punjab police wanted the suspects, identified as Muhammad Majid and Mohammad Sarwar, for their alleged involvement in heinous crimes.
The police wanted Muhammad Majid for involvement in a robbery case, with a case against him in 2018 at Kotli police station in Sialkot, while Mohammad Sarwar had an involvement in a murder case, with a case against him registered in 2020 at Toba Tek Singh police station.
The FIA Interpol had issued red notices for the arrest of these individuals and after their apprehension in Bahrain, the authorities handed them over to the concerned police in Sialkot.
Customs Thwart Smuggling Of Rs130 Million Worth Of iPhones At Karachi Airport
Earlier, Pakistan Customs successfully foiled an attempt to smuggle a significant cache of valuable iPhone sets, estimated to be worth approximately Rs130 million, at the Jinnah Terminal of Karachi Airport.
Acting on a tip-off, customs authorities thwarted the smuggling operation involving 168 precious iPhone sets. The authorities confiscated the iPhones from passengers arriving in Karachi on an Air Arabia flight from Sharjah.
Typically, travelers using the green channel during inbound customs procedures are subject to minimal checks, assuming they do not possess dutiable items. However, in this case, authorities discovered and arrested passengers who were attempting to bypass customs scrutiny by using the green channel.
Authorities suspect that the arrested passengers are part of an organized smuggling network, and investigations into their activities are currently underway.
This incident follows a similar interception earlier in the week when Pakistan Customs officials at Karachi’s Jinnah International Airport successfully prevented an attempt to smuggle iPhones worth millions into the country. In that case, the security forces apprehended three individuals returning from the Umrah pilgrimage with many iPhones, thanks to a prior tip-off.
