Heroine worth Rs 362 crore seized in Navi Mumbai
Earlier, on July 15, the crime branch team of Navi Mumbai had busted the network of another big racket. Heroin worth crores was seized by Navi Mumbai Crime Branch. The value of this heroin in the international market was estimated at 362.5 crores. This container carrying a consignment of drugs was brought from Dubai to Navi Mumbai’s Nhavasheva Port. The crime branch had got secret information that this container belongs to Ajiwali village near Panvel of Navkar Logistics. The crime branch team had revealed that the consignment of heroin recovered was a part of the supply chain of an international drug racket network. Not only are people connected in many areas of the country with the network of this entire racket, but this racket is also spread in other countries of the world.
The crime branch swung into action as soon as the tip of bringing drugs in the name of marble was received. First the marbles were unloaded from the container. Then a closer look at the door frame of the container led to suspicion of drugs being hidden in the frame. After this, with the help of a cutter machine, a large consignment of drugs, which was cut into the frame of the door of the container, was recovered.
