700 kg of methamphetamine, known as meth, has been caught off in Gujarat’s Porbandar after an overnight mid-sea operation. Eight people on the boat were arrested who are claimed to be Iranians.
A joint operation by the officials from the Gujarat Anti-Terror Squad (ATS) and the federal anti-drugs agency Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) called Operation Sagar Manthan led to the seizure.
All eight people are being questioned to find out the sources of the drugs and where this big consignment was headed, said officials. The drugs are estimated to be approximately Rs 2-5 crore as there is no standard way to peg its actual value.
