DERA GHAZI KHAN: Saddar police claimed on Saturday to have foiled an attempt to launder an amount of Rs49.04 million and arrested two suspects.

Acting on a tip-off, Saddar Station House Officer Muhammad Yunus and his team intercepted a suspicious car on Multan Road. The car was searched and cash amounting to Rs49.04m was recovered.

The money was being smuggled from Shah Saddar Deen in Dera Ghazi Khan.

Two suspects, Zahid Ali and Tariq Masood, both residents of Shah Sadar Deen, were arrested.

The confiscated money was handed over to the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA).

DPO Ahmad Mohiuddin said the seizure of such a large amount of money is a big success for the Dera Ghazi Khan police.

He said checking of all types of vehicles on the entry and exit routes of the district was under way.
