The Gujarat Anti Terrorist Squad (ATS) and the Directorate of Revenue of Intelligence (DRI) on Thursday seized around 300 kg of heroin at the Kandla Port in Kutch, Gujarat. The drugs were confiscated from one of the five containers seized by the DRI.
According to the reports, the DRI suspects that the other four seized containers may also contain drugs. The consignment was intercepted by the DRI based on specific intelligence that high-quality heroin was being smuggled in containers from Afghanistan to Gujarat’s Kandla port via Iran.
