GWADAR: The law enforcement agencies have successfully intercepted a massive consignment of unregistered Indian-origin narcotic medicines worth approximately Rs 50 million. The illicit shipment, destined for Gwadar from Karachi, was seized before it could be delivered to its final location.
In this regard, as per the credible sources, the recovered drugs were allegedly intended for use by terrorist elements, specifically designed to be administered to attackers before the execution of planned assaults.
The operation resulted in the confiscation of 18,000 boxes of illegal pharmaceutical tablets, totaling nearly 1.9 million individual pills. In such a case, preliminary investigations suggest that the drugs were being trafficked through covert channels and were meant to be used as a psychological suppressant to numb the emotions of individuals participating in acts of terror.

The specific formulation of these drugs, which is banned in several countries, is known to induce a state of emotional detachment and physical desensitization, thereby enabling perpetrators to carry out violent attacks with minimal emotional interference or hesitation.
Furthermore, authorities believe that the organized trafficking of such substances reflects a disturbing trend where psychological manipulation through pharmacological means is being employed to control and exploit vulnerable individuals.

Moreover, intelligence sources have indicated that such substances are often distributed among terrorist operatives before missions, effectively dulling their natural responses to fear, empathy, or hesitation.
The seized medicines are strictly banned for general use in many countries due to their high potential for abuse and the severe impact they can have on the human brain. The uncontrolled administration of such drugs has been linked to a range of adverse psychological effects, including long-term cognitive dysfunction, emotional suppression, and increased aggression.
The origin of the consignment remains under investigation. Similarly, initial findings point to a network operating across international borders, utilizing clandestine supply routes to smuggle restricted substances into Pakistan.
This development underlines the evolving tactics employed by extremist elements and the increasing sophistication of their logistical frameworks. It also focuses on the critical role played by security forces in intercepting threats that are not limited to weapons or explosives, but extend to psychological warfare through the use of mind-altering substances.
