The Federal Investigation Agency has uncovered a fake medicines manufacturing unit in Ahsanabad, Karachi.

The raid was carried out by the agency’s Anti-Corruption Circle following a tip-off.

Deputy Director Anti-Corruption Ali Mardan said counterfeit pain-relief medicines were being produced at the facility, posing serious risks to public health.

Officials seized a large quantity of finished and semi-finished fake medicines, along with packing and dye machines.

The packaging closely resembled well-known brands to deceive consumers.

One suspect, identified as Faisal, was arrested, and a case was registered against him. Authorities said raids were continuing to arrest other individuals involved in the illegal operation.
