The aircraft was undergoing A or C Check when narcotics were recovered from it, according to new sources.

Before arriving in Karachi on March 30 it had performed flight from Medina to Pakistan.

Maybe the aircraft is PIA Boeing 777-340ER registration (AP-BHV) that arrived in Karachi on March 30 at 1:47 PM as flight PK-373 from Islamabad where earlier that day it had arrived at 9:22 AM as flight PK-714 from Medina.

AP-BHV has not returned to skies since arriving in Karachi on March 30.

Maybe long delay suffered by PIA Karachi to Jeddah flight PK-731 is related to this incident?

Jeddah-bound PK-731 was scheduled to depart from Karachi at 6:00 PM on April 3.
