A substantial police force accompanied the Food Authority during the operation to ensure security and facilitate the raid. Authorities have not yet released the identity or nationality of the implicated foreign national. Islamabad Food Authority officials have confirmed that further investigations are ongoing, and legal action is expected against those responsible for this illegal sale, raising serious concerns about food safety and the need for stricter oversight of meat sales in the capital.
