A customs officer named Imran has been suspended due to a viral video at Lahore airport. In the video, Imran was seen trying to extort a bribe from a passenger bound for Canada.
The passenger was carrying $9,500, and Imran demanded a bribe of $100. He went so far as to threaten to seize all the money if his demand was not met, despite customs laws clearly stating that passengers cannot carry more than $9,500 while traveling abroad.
As the video gained widespread attention, the deputy collector of customs took action. Imran was suspended and instructed to report to the headquarters for an investigation and disciplinary measures.
This incident serves as a wake-up call for the customs authorities to review their protocols and ensure stricter adherence to customs laws.

Customs, Immigration and FIA. akheer kisam k corrupt hain. My brother went to Cypruss, first Customs guy demanded money and later immigration lady. They even stopped a Cypruss national and demanded bribe. Govt should outsource Lahore airport at first priority.
Oh Pedro… At least learn how to spell… It is Cyprus.
Outsourcing does not include customs and immigration anywhere in the world.
How pathetic… Instead of firing the guy, they are going to suspend him for a few days, and he will probably be back on the job by weeks end
Sadly thats how every govt institution works here
That’s why this country is where it is. Mafia’s playing havoc with governance. Govts (all of them) inept, incompetent, clowns seeking development funds in the name of their constituencies, so that they can enrich themselves and this pathetic practice was introduced by Zia ul Haq, another master clown. His illegitimate off-springs are now taking out Govt money in the name of Green Pakistan initiative, another mega-farce black hole for doling out billions of Rupees
The figure mentioned is US$ 9500, actually it is only usd5000 or equivalent currency which a traveller can carry. Carrying 9500 is also against the rules.

Actually high rank officers does not consumer bribe as wrong. They have drawn loop holes from system and not hi jacked system.

Nothing will happened. All things will remain same as all the system is corrupt.
