The Narcotics Control Bureau, aided by the Indian Navy and Gujarat ATS, confiscated 3,300 kg of drugs from a boat with suspected Pakistani crew members off Gujarat's coast. Valued at over Rs 2,000 crore in the international market, the cache includes cannabis, methamphetamine, and morphine. Following a surveillance aircraft tip-off, an Indian Navy ship intercepted the vessel, leading to arrests and seizure. Union Home Minister Amit Shah lauded the agencies for their efforts towards a drug-free India. Investigations are ongoing to determine the origin and destination of the narcotics and gather more information about the arrested crew.
