Two individuals have been apprehended in connection with the illicit operation.
The FIA received intelligence indicating the involvement of certain individuals in the production of counterfeit animal medications.
Acting on this information, a team led by Deputy Director of the Anti-Corruption Circle (ACC), Mian Muhammad Sabir, intercepted a vehicle and discovered a substantial quantity of drugs during a search.
Drug Inspector Ramiz Khan, who provided technical support during the operation, verified that the drugs were substandard and fraudulent veterinary medicines.
The driver of the vehicle identified the suspects as Muhammad Waqar, son of Abdul Sattar, and Muhammad Nauman, son of Muhammad Siddique, leading to their subsequent arrest.
