The Directorate of Revenue Intelligence has seized 2 kilograms of cocaine in Surat and arrested one person as part of an anti-narcotics operation, authorities said.
The DRI intercepted the cocaine consignment during the operation, which forms part of ongoing efforts to curb the trafficking of narcotics. One individual was taken into custody in connection with the case.
The Directorate of Revenue Intelligence is the agency tasked with countering smuggling, including the trafficking of drugs and other contraband. Seizures of cocaine, a high-value narcotic, often point to organised trafficking networks operating across regions.
The interception in Surat reflects the role of port and commercial hubs in narcotics movement, and agencies have stepped up surveillance to detect such consignments. The recovery of the drug is significant given its street value and the harm associated with its distribution.
Investigators are expected to question the arrested individual to trace the source and intended destination of the consignment, as well as any wider network. The case adds to a series of anti-narcotics actions by enforcement agencies, with the probe continuing.
