A recent drug bust by the Bengaluru Customs involving a consignment reportedly booked from Vijayawada to Australia has left officials baffled, even as reports have emerged of yet another major drug haul at Mundra port in Gujarat having links to Vijayawada.
The consignment was booked by a courier firm from Vijayawada to Australia on January 31. However, the consignment reportedly circled the globe, making its way to Canada instead of Australia due to a wrong address being given by the despatcher, and eventually ended up back in Bengaluru where it was seized by Customs officials.
Investigators are now trying to ascertain how a parcel containing 4.5 kg of drugs managed to pass undetected through several layers of security, that too at multiple airports.
