The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) Composite Circle Sahiwal has uncovered an alleged illegal medicine-selling operation

SAHIWAL/OKARA:  The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) Composite Circle Sahiwal has uncovered an alleged illegal medicine-selling operation at a medical store in Basirpur, Okara district, recovering thousands of unregistered Indian sexual stimulant tablets and other medicines being sold in violation of pharmaceutical regulations.

Three individuals have been nominated in the case, while two accused have been arrested following the recovery of 16 different types of medicines, including controlled drugs, unregistered stimulants and pharmaceutical products allegedly being sold without proper records, warranties or supervision by a qualified person.

According to officials, FIA registered FIR No. 15/2026 on November 11, 2026, under Sections 23 and 27 of the Drugs Act 1976, following a complaint by the Deputy Drug Controller and Provincial Inspector of Drugs, Tehsil Depalpur.

Joint Raid on Basirpur Medical Store

The operation was conducted on November 10 at approximately 7pm at Ijaz Medical Store, located in Main Bazaar, Basirpur, Tehsil Depalpur.

The joint team included Drug Inspector Adnan Yaqoob, FIA Inspector Ali Raza and other officials. During the inspection, Muhammad Naeem Raza, the store manager, was present, while the proprietor, Muhammad Ali Ayaz, was reportedly absent.

The officials recovered 16 categories of medicines and seized them through the prescribed documentation. Two samples were also collected and forwarded to the Drug Testing Laboratory for examination.

According to the FIR, the store manager provided a written statement and signed the relevant seizure documents in the presence of witnesses.

Thousands of Unregistered Sexual Stimulants Recovered

The most significant recovery involved Indian-origin sexual stimulant products allegedly being stocked without registration or approval in Pakistan.

The seized items included 2,300 tablets of Black Cobra 125, 1,050 Cobra-150 tablets, 200 Vega 100 tablets and 100 Penagra tablets. Officials also recovered eight Horse Power creams and 108 Kung Fu Bear capsules.

The total quantity of these products reached 3,766 pieces.

Other recovered medicines included nine ampoules of Testoviron Depot injections and four vials of Lonacort, alongside Brolite, Darvin, TMDL Plus, Tonoflex, Trampol, Kanadex, Neogab and 750 tablets of Tacylis 75mg.

FIA officials alleged that several products were being sold without proper documentation, registration, warranties and legally required supervision.

Premises Sealed, FIR Registered

The Deputy Drug Controller reportedly sealed the medical store under Section 18(1)(h) of the Drugs Act 1976. The District Quality Control Board Okara subsequently granted permission for legal proceedings and continuation of the sealing process.

Following approval, FIA formally registered the case and assigned the investigation to Inspector Ali Raza.

FIA confirmed the arrest of Muhammad Naeem Raza and Ali Hamza, while Muhammad Ali Ayaz, identified as the store proprietor, was also nominated in the FIR.

Investigation Underway

Officials are examining the origin and supply chain of the recovered medicines to determine how unregistered products reached the medical store.

The seizure has also raised concerns about the availability of potentially unsafe sexual stimulant products in local markets. Medical experts caution that medicines containing active pharmaceutical ingredients can carry serious health risks when used without appropriate medical advice, particularly for individuals with existing cardiovascular conditions.

The samples have been forwarded for laboratory analysis, while further investigation is underway to establish possible links with wider distribution networks.
