RAWALPINDI (Dunya News) – Anti-Narcotics Force (ANF) Pakistan, while conducting three counter-narcotics operations, seized 58.5 kg ketamine and over 4.2 kg drugs, said an ANF Headquarters spokesman on Saturday.

He informed that ANF Lahore, after tireless efforts, managed to bust a gang allegedly involved in drug manufacturing and smuggling.

He said that a private pharmaceutical company located in Lahore was involved in drug manufacturing and smuggling. The owner of the company was arrested along with other gang members.
