Smuggling of 60,000 liquor bottles from UAE to Pakistan foiled

[krash]

Send the liquor to Delhi. We pay good prices out there


If I visited Karachi or some other city in Pakistan and wanted to buy a bottle of scotch, will I be able to legally buy a bottle? Are there retailers who have licenses to sell alcohol there ?

You will go to a hotel bar or a licensed salesman, show him your passport, pay him and enjoy. Non-Muslim Pakistanis are issued a permit which works the way your passport would. However, you are only allowed to buy and/or hold a certain amount; "for personal use only". And you should be able to get whatever you like.

foiled that's good ...but what about poisonous liquor which is made in Pakistan. Today nine men are died in darya.

There's no 'poisonous' liquor made. When you let alcohol sit and breath or if its not stored in hermetically sealed containers it reacts with the air and oxidizes. This is oxidation turns alcohol into acid (chemistry 101) and acid pretty much kills everything.
There was a time when people used to steal industrial ethanol as a cheap and easy to get substitute. To deter this the government made it mandatory for some chemical poisons to be mixed in it. Many people kept drinking the stuff and scores of them died.
