Migrant workers under scanner for suspected drug trafficking

Kozhikode

Noticing the suspicious involvement of migrant workers in the smuggling and resale of narcotic substances, the police have intensified their surveillance and patrolling activities around the migrant workers’ settlements in different parts of the district. Both the local police and plainclothesmen appointed by the District Anti-Narcotic Special Action Force (DANSAF) will keep an eye on such suspected camps.

In some of the recent investigations, the police found that migrant workers have been exploring their connections in their native States for shipping narcotic stuff and the secret reselling of the smuggled items. Some of their local connections have been found emerging as carriers for their friends to get quick returns.
