Mumbai Airport Customs detained a man from Surat on Sunday, accusing him of smuggling illicit drugs from Bangkok. Authorities found 6.6 kilograms of suspected hydroponic weed packed in eight vacuum-sealed packets concealed within the passenger's trolley bag. The accused, Abhishek Tailor, voluntarily confessed to non-declaration, concealment, and seizure of narcotics for monetary gain during his statement.
The Customs officers have issued a summons and placed Tailor under arrest as investigators continue to trace the drug network behind the smuggling operation. Probes are underway to uncover the source, intended recipient, financing, supply chain, and other associates involved in the case. The rising accessibility of cannabis cultivation and sale in Thailand has reportedly led to an increase in hydroponic weed smuggling cases, primarily from Bangkok to Indian airports.
