Sharp drop in seized drugs in 2023-24

Hindustan Times  

MUMBAI: Seizures of high-value narcotics like cocaine and heroin by the Directorate of Revenue Intelligence in Mumbai and other parts Maharashtra have dropped significantly this financial year compared to earlier years. HT Image Agency sources said most seizures this financial year pertained to smuggling bids by passengers using the air route, often employing unique concealment methods. Most of the drug seizures by the DRI this financial year derived from such air passengers, while in 2022-23, when the agency’s Mumbai zonal unit made record seizures of cocaine and heroin, they mostly pertained to drug trafficking via the sea route. Among the many examples of sea-based seizures of cocaine and heroin in the previous financial year, on October 6, 2022, the agency’s Mumbai unit intercepted a shipping container at the busy Nhava Sheva port in Navi Mumbai.
