Revenue intelligence agency reports more than 845 kg of drug seizures
The agency says operations across rail, road and airport routes resulted in 15 arrests under the NDPS Act.
The Directorate of Revenue Intelligence says multiple operations produced seizures exceeding 845 kilograms and 15 arrests under the NDPS Act.
The reported total includes about 801 kilograms of cannabis from two land operations, about 28 kilograms intercepted from passengers at Mumbai and Bengaluru airports, around 6 kilograms of charas, about 5.8 kilograms of cocaine and roughly 4.5 kilograms of amphetamine-type substances.
Why it matters
The cases span rail, road and international-airport routes and illustrate the variety of concealment and transit patterns faced by enforcement agencies.
SCULTRA point of view
Seizure volume is an enforcement output, not a complete measure of trafficking prevalence or disruption. Useful accountability requires case outcomes, network-level investigations, purity and valuation methods, and comparable long-run data.
Limitations
All quantities and operational claims come from the enforcement agency. Arrests and seizures do not establish guilt, court outcomes were not available, and the release does not provide a consistent valuation or trend denominator.
