In a major
haul, the CBI detained a shipping container and seized suspected narcotics
mixed with around 25,000 kg of inactive dried yeast from the Visakhapatnam
container terminal on Tuesday. (19 March ‘24)
The incident
came to light on Thursday after the CBI officials tested the cargo and
confirmed the presence of drugs. The seizure was carried out under ‘Operation
Garuda’ following a tip-off from Interpol and with the assistance of
Visakhapatnam police and the customs department
The
container was booked from Santos Port, Brazil for delivery at Visakhapatnam in
the name of a Visakhapatnam-based private company. The shipper had declared that the container contained 1,000 bags of
inactive dried yeast of 25 kg each.
The
consignment has been seized and an FIR has been registered against the
consignee and unknown others. The operation indicated involvement of an
international criminal network engaged in importing narcotics drugs by way of
mixing it with other substances, commonly known as cutting agents. “We are
assisting CBI officials in locating the consignee and others involved in this
international drug chain. So far no
arrests have been made,’’ said Visakhapatnam police commissioner Dr Ravi
Shankar.
