AHMEDABAD, May 26:
The Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) seized 10 kilograms of charas, worth Rs 1.25 crore in the international market, from a truck that had come from Jammu and Kashmir, an official said today.
The Ahmedabad zonal unit of the NCB intercepted a truck coming from Anantnag in Jammu and Kashmir on the outskirts of the city here and seized the contraband hidden in specially made cavities in the driver’s cabin, said NCB (Ahmedabad zone) director Hariom Gandhi.
The incident happened late Friday night, he added.
Two people, identified as Mushtaq Ahmed Bhat and Sohel Ahmed Ghani from Muchi near Shopian in Jammu and Kashmir, were apprehended, the official informed.
“The two were promised Rs 50,000 for delivery of the contraband. We are on the lookout for the receiver. It is suspected that Mushtaq might have come to Gujarat earlier with similar contraband in the past,” Gandhi said.
Gandhi said that Kashmiri charas is of premium quality and 10 kg of it would fetch Rs 1.25 crore in the international market. (PTI)
