AHMEDABAD/CHANDIGARH: The Gujarat Anti-Terrorist Squad (ATS) on Monday evening seized 75.3kg of high-quality heroin, valued at Rs 376.5 crore in the international market, from a container at Mundra port in Kutch district, an official said on Tuesday. The contraband, hidden inside fabric rolls to evade detection, had been sent from the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and was meant to be transported to Punjab, Gujarat DGP Ashish Bhatia said, adding that no arrest has been made yet.
The Punjab police provided a tip-off to Gujarat ATS that a shipping container which had arrived at the Mundra port about two months ago may contain drugs and the cargo was to be delivered in Punjab, DGP Bhatia said.
