One of the five vehicles was not permitted to travel as they did not have the No Objection Certificate (NOC). The other four cars were allowed to proceed after required inquiry.

According to police, the cars belonging to US and French consulates were stopped at Toll Plaza on Super Highway for necessary inquiry. They were on their way to interior Sindh when one of the vehicles was returned to the consulate as it was not carrying NOC, police said.

Sources said that, Counsel General of Republic of France was also present in one of the two cars.
