In a major catch, officials of the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) detained a shipping container suspected to be ferrying narcotics drugs mixed with around 25,000 kg inactive dried yeast at the Visakhapatnam Port, a press release issued by the CBI in New Delhi said on March 21 (Thursday).
The CBI said that as a part of ‘Operation Garuda’ and its fight against organised drug cartels on an international level, and based on credible information through Interpol and with the assistance of the Customs Department in Visakhapatnam, it detained a shipping container at the Visakhapatnam Port.
The CBI said that the container had been booked from “Santos Port, Brazil” for delivery in Visakhapatnam, India, in the name of a consignee, which was a Visakhapatnam-based private company.
