A steward belonging to Pakistan International Airline (PIA) was detained by French airport authorities in Paris for allegedly being in possession of four kilogrammes of heroin, a private news channel reported.
As per reports, the suspect was carrying four packets of heroin weighing one kilogramme each, which is worth at least Rs40 million. The flight was bound from Paris to Islamabad
According to a notice sent to PIA authorities, the plane’s crew, as well as the three pilots, were made to undergo thorough checking and were detained at the airport for several hours.
The PIA, so far, has received no official confirmation of the incident from the French authorities. However, PIA Spokesperson Mashood Tajwar said that the “suspect had been suspended from service until further investigation,” adding if the allegations are proven to be true, he will be terminated.
How was the heroine smuggled into the airport from where the aircraft departed. In most cases involving narcotics hidden on board behind known concealed compartments it occurs at Karachi. This is part of an organised criminal gang which involves ASF, PIA employees, customs, FIA, anti narcotics and security personal deputed at airport. But behind all these are the Dons who retrieve the heroine at foreign airports, sell it in local market and than distribute the proceeds to all those involved with in this organised crime. Get the real culprits not just the couriers involved..
Get hold of the Minister of Privatisation.
