The Anti-Narcotics Force (ANF) has successfully intercepted a significant heroin shipment concealed within a cargo of potatoes destined for Sri Lanka.
The operation, carried out at the Karachi International Container Terminal based on intelligence reports, led to the discovery of approximately 5 kilograms of heroin hidden in 122 potatoes distributed across 80 sacks in a refrigerated container. The heroin, valued at around 24-50 Euros per gram, represents several million rupees in total.

The inspection team faced a challenging task as each sack contained one or two potatoes filled with the narcotic. According to an ANF spokesperson, the container was booked by a private company.
One person has been arrested in connection with the attempted smuggling, and the investigation is ongoing to identify additional suspects involved in the operation. The arrested individual has been taken into ANF custody for further questioning, with more raids anticipated as the probe continues.
