Anti-Narcotics Forces (ANF) personnel at the Benazir Bhutto International airport in Islamabad on Sunday claimed to have arrested a UK-bound British citizen after the recovery of one kilogram heroin from the passenger prior to boarding a Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) flight for Birmingham.
An ANF spokesman Col Habib told that the British citizen of Pakistani origin had tactfully concealed 1kg heroin in his shoes, which was detected during routine checking by ANF staff at the airport.
The spokesman said that the passenger was travelling from Islamabad to Birmingham by flight PK 791.
The heroine was worth several hundred thousand rupees.
A case has been registered against the arrested man as a probe by the ANF went under way.
