NCB seizes Rs 120 crore worth drugs, former Air India pilot among six arrested

The Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) busts a significant drug cartel, seizing 60 kilogrammes of MD narcotic worth 120 Crore. In this context, Deputy Director General (ops), IPS Sanjay Singh and Mumbai Zonal Director IRS Amit Ghawate spoke at a news conference.

Based on specific information obtained by the Naval Intelligence unit in Jamnagar, Gujarat, the action was done. On October 3, after receiving a tip, officials from the NCB’s Delhi headquarters and its Mumbai zonal section raided Jamnagar and found 10 kg of mephedrone, according to NCB Deputy Director General Sanjay Singh. Three more people from Mumbai were detained in connection with the arrest of one individual from Jamnagar by the NCB team.

A raid was conducted at a godown in Mumbai’s Fort. The NCB officials in Mumbai recovered 50 kg of MD drug. According to the earlier report, the medication was purportedly delivered for medical use. A couple more Gujarati suspects have been detained in this drug bust case, and 10kg of MD has been found. Sohail Gaffar Mahida, a former pilot of Air India from 2016 to 2018, is the main suspect in narcotics trafficking.

The NCB has successfully carried out an operation wherein an interstate drug cartel was neutralized and 60 kg of high-quality mephedrone, also known as MD, was recovered, according to an official statement made by the NCB.

The Naval Intelligence Unit, Jamnagar, Gujarat, first provided information regarding some individuals’ dubious behavior. Following the input, NCB actively began collaborating with the agency, closely monitoring various areas of the given targets, and beginning to acquire more data.

Gradually, it became apparent that Gujarat would soon be sending large quantities of high-quality medication to other states. In response, the NCB quickly drew up a plan of action that included not only locating the major targets and the contraband but also keeping a low profile to preserve the element of surprise for other significant partners.
