Cocaine worth over ₹500 crore seized near Mundra Port in Gujarat

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.
