In yet another instance of drug seizure, the Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) has seized 56 kg of cocaine, estimated to be worth over ₹500 crore, from a container near Mundra port in Gujarat’s Kutch district on Thursday.
Although the DRI officials did not disclose the value of the seized contraband it recovered from a container, it could be close to ₹550 crore as the price of 1 kg of cocaine is around ₹10 crore in international markets.
As per details, acting on specific inputs, a team of DRI officials searched and scanned a container, which had arrived a few days back from Dubai and housed at a Container Freight Station near the port in Mundra, Kutch.
