Gandhinagar: The Directorate of Revenue Intelligence has seized 56 kg of cocaine from a container near the Mundra port in Gujarat's Kutch district, a DRI official said on Thursday. The value of the seized contraband has not been revealed so far. Based on specific inputs, a team of DRI officials searched the container which arrived at the Mundra port some time back from a foreign country and has since been then kept at the container freight station nearby, the official said. The DRI team found 56 kg of cocaine, a highly addictive drug, hidden inside the imported items, the official said without divulging much details.
The drug seizure comes a month after the DRI recovered some 260 kg of heroin worth Rs 1,300 crore following a raid at a container station near the Kandla port in Kutch.
