FIA Islamabad Raid: PKR 250 Million Worth of Illegal Dental Implants Seized. -

In a massive crackdown on illegal medical supplies, the FIA Anti-Corruption Cell conducted a raid in Islamabad on February 20, 2026, seizing thousands of unregistered dental implants. The total value of the confiscated counterfeit devices is estimated at PKR 250 million.

Operation Details and Public Safety

The unauthorized implants were discovered in a residential property and have been handed over to the Drug Regulatory Authority of Pakistan (DRAP) for thorough verification. This operation highlights a persistent issue in the region; recently, DRAP has intensified its efforts to combat the illegal sale and manufacturing of spurious and falsified therapeutic goods.

Illicit Trade: Authorities are currently registering a formal case against the individuals involved in this trade.
Previous Actions: In January 2026, DRAP issued multiple alerts for unregistered or substandard products, including OMNIVISC 2%, which lacked a Pakistan Drug Registration Number.
Health Risks: The use of unregistered medical devices poses a severe threat to public safety, as they often lack mandatory Establishment Licenses or fail critical sterility tests.

Regulatory Guidance for Citizens

DRAP continues to urge the public to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity related to counterfeit medical devices through official channels.

Verification: Citizens and healthcare professionals can use DRAP’s online services to verify the registration status of medical products and manufacturers.
Recall Index: Consumers can access the Recalled Product Index to stay informed about defective therapeutic goods removed from the market.
