Train From Pakistan - With Rs 525 Crores Worth Heroin
IN what could be one of the biggest seizures of drugs, Indian Customs officers recovered 105 kgs of heroin valued at Rs. 525 Crores in the international market from a Pakistani goods train loaded with cement. The wagon, which had this heroin along with cement bags, was sealed at Attari Border but the seal was found broken when it reached Amritsar for unloading. The contraband was found among the cement bags.
While the quantity may appear small compared to the huge seizure in Amritsar, the Forbesganj Customs Preventive Division Assistant Commissioner is in the habit of routinely seizing narcotics originating from Nepal from Delhi bound trains. In the last four months, his team has made 6 narcotics seizures valued at Crores of rupees.
DDT salutes these Customs officers who risk their lives in the service of the Nation.
