Karachi: A bid to smuggle electronic goods worth Rs4.6 million was foiled by custom officials at Jinnah International Airport, Karachi.
The custom officers detained the items from the luggage of a passenger and his mother who were traveling from Dubai to Karachi via an international airline.
The suspect is identified as Shabbir.
The passenger was suspected due to his confused behavior when he was asked if he was carrying any duty imposed items.
To clear the doubt, the officers screened the luggage of both passengers and recovered the duty imposed products that were being smuggled.
Four iPads, six airpods, seven smart watches, eight game controllers, two eye lenses, 16 iPhones, 60 CDs and branded clothes were included in the smuggled items.
After filing the case, Shabbir was arrested and interrogated further after the competent court handed him over to the officers on remand.
