Karachi: A Pakistani court has sent six personnel of the Crime Investigation Agency (CIA) in judicial custody over  the alleged smuggling of 76 kilogrammes of charas in a police van, media reports said.

They were sent to custody after police completed their physical remand for interrogation.

The South judicial magistrate remanded CIA personnel Muhammad Yaqub, Ejaz Ali, Ghulam Abbas, Rahib Hussain, Abdul Hameed and Ahmed Nawaz to jail, seeking a progress report from the investigation officer on July 31, reports The News International.

According to the investigation officer, the suspects were arrested in a van, which carried 76 kilogrammes of charas concealed in 64 packets. He added that the drug was supposed to be delivered to a dealer, the newspaper reported.

The FIR read that six people, two in plainclothes sitting on the front seats and four in the trunk, were travelling in the said police mobile and on stopping they identified themselves as personnel of the CIA in Jamshoro, the Pakistani newspaper reported.
