Karachi: Pakistan's Directorate of Customs Intelligence and Investigation in  Karachi recently carried out a raid at the head office of BOL News in compliance with court orders, media reports said.

During the operation, the directorate team, accompanied by BOL News representatives, compiled a list of inventory items, including DSNGs, studio equipment, cameras, camera control units, monitors, and other imported equipment in the building, reports The Express Tribune.

The raid was conducted after a search warrant was issued by a district and sessions judge.

According to sources familiar with the matter, the court issued the order based on suspicions of non-custom paid media equipment being present at the BOL News office.

Upon executing the search warrant, customs officials were instructed to conduct a thorough search of all rooms and areas within the building and prepare a list of any non-custom paid equipment discovered during the search, the newspaper reported.

They were also ordered to detain any such equipment in accordance with the law. During the search, the officials also took videos and pictures of the equipment as per the court order.

According to sources, the equipment found to be in violation of the law will be confiscated, and its market value and duty will be assessed by the authorities, reported the newspaper.
