During the search of vehicle we found 1256 kgs of good quality hashish, and three kalashnikoves with 90 bullets, and a pistol of 30 bore with 12 bullets and five uniforms of major ranks and forged number plates," said Raja Mushtaq Ahmed, District Police Officer Bhakkar, while talking to this correspondent on phone on Sunday.
