The Enforcement Directorate has attached properties worth Rs.3.59 crore in connection with the seizure of over 300-kg heroin and arms from a Sri Lankan boat named “Ravihansi” near Minicoy Island in Lakshadweep about a year ago.
The attached assets include six landed properties, 12 vehicles, cash and bank deposits belonging to Suresh Raj A, Satkunam aka Sabeshan, Ramesh A. and Soundarajan.
On March 18 last year, the Indian Coast Guard had intercepted the Sri Lankan fishing boat within the territorial waters of India and on rummaging, it found that the boat was carrying more than 300 kg of heroin, five assault rifles and 1,000 rounds of 9 mm ammunitions.
