The Indian Coast Guard and Gujarat Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) have seized around 526 kg of drugs worth over ₹3,000 crore from an Iranian boat in the Arabian Sea. Five Pakistani nationals aboard the vessel were detained during the operation on September 25. The seized consignment included heroin and methamphetamine, according to reports. The boat was intercepted west of Lakshadweep following intelligence inputs and surveillance by sea and air. The vessel, its crew and the seized drugs were later taken to Mumbai for further investigation. Authorities are examining the consignment’s origin, intended destination and possible links to an international smuggling network.
