55 kg meth worth ₹300 crore seized from maize consignment near Mumbai port
The shipment, seized near Nhava Sheva, was allegedly linked to a Pakistan-based narco-trafficking syndicate led by Mohammad Hussain Dad.
The Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) seized 55 kg of methamphetamine, worth approximately ₹300 crore, from a consignment of maize at a Container Freight Station (CFS) near Mumbai's Nhava Sheva port. The shipment reportedly originated from a Pakistan-based narcotics syndicate, led by Mohammad Hussain Dad, and was intended for export to Uttar Pradesh.
DRI officers intercepted the drugs during a search of a container, using a mobile forensic science laboratory to confirm the substance as methamphetamine. Two individuals have been detained in connection with the seizure, and the investigation is ongoing.
