Narcotics ring busted with 349 kg cocaine worth Rs 1,745 crore in Mumbai

The Narcotics Bureau on Friday cracked down on a major international drug cartel, seizing 349 kg of high-grade cocaine worth Rs 1,745 crore in Mumbai, Union Home Minister Amit Shah announced.

"We are resolved to ruthlessly crush the narcotics cartel," Shah said in a post, adding that this case is a trailblazing example of a bottom-to-top approach where the agency traced back a smaller consignment to net a massive network.

He congratulated the NCB team for this "monumental" success.



Earlier on April 29, the NCB seized 200 kg of ganja from a vehicle travelling from Malkangiri in Odisha to Coimbatore.
