In a joint operation by the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) and the Indian Navy, the agencies have seized over 760 kg narcotics, including hashish, methamphetamine and heroin, worth about Rs 2,000 crore in the international market, from the high seas off Gujarat coast.
Considered as a first-of-its-kind operation conducted jointly in the high seas, the drug cargo was seized from a ghost boat floating without any crew.
