Model Custom Collectorate (MCC) Islamabad raided a house near Liaqat Park Rawalpindi that functioned as a packaging venue for counterfeit drugs run by a well-known Chemist.
MCC received a tip claiming the venue hosted undeclared imported cosmetics that had been not been subject to duties or taxation. While the tip held true as MCC found smuggled cosmetics, they also discovered large quantities of multivitamins in open bags, unlabeled white bottles, and fake label printouts imitating originals US based multivitamins. According to customs, the bottles and labels were clandestinely imported from China while the multivitamins are either locally produced or brought in from India. The MCC recorded the entire venue and showed all goods in question in detail for proof.
200 cases of fake drugs made by Customs in last few years. No noticeable convictions. Without a serious commitment by Govt. BarAssociations & Judiciary this "cancer of fake drugs" will continue to reduce Pakistan's trust in Pak eyes https://t.co/2xC2oU0EAu via @YouTube

The video is deemed legimitate after confirmation from the customs office and therefore becomes an admissible piece of evidence in court. It made rounds on social media when released by the customs team and was later confirmed by the Deputy Commissioner Islamabad, Hamza Shafqaat.
