In another operation, ANF seized 470 grams of ice from a parcel at the General Post Office (GPO) in Sialkot, destined for Bahrain.
A separate raid near a hotel on Shikarpur Road led to the discovery of 26.4 kilograms of hashish concealed in a car.
The suspect transporting the drugs was arrested on the spot.
According to ANF, the international value of the seized drugs exceeds Rs24 lakh.
