Islamabad: In a significant crackdown on drug-related crime, the Islamabad Capital Police announced the arrest of two individuals believed to be part of an international drug trafficking network. The arrests, which took place earlier this week, are a part of ongoing efforts to combat the illegal drug trade that is impacting the region.

According to Islamabad Capital Police announcement issued on 21 September 2024, the suspects were apprehended during a targeted operation after receiving intelligence that linked them to activities involving the distribution of narcotics across national borders.
