SMACK SMACKED DOWN! India Seizes $2.7 BILLION of Heroin From Afghanistan at Major Port
Two containers carrying nearly 3,000 kilograms [6,600 pounds] of Afghan heroin was discovered by the Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) at Mundra Port in the western state of Gujarat, the government agency said.
Two Indians were arrested after the heroin, marked as talc, was imported into the country from Bandar Abbas Port in Iran making it the country’s largest heroin bust.
Afghanistan is the world’s largest supplier of the drug making up to 90% of global output. However since taking power the Taliban has pledged to crack down on the narcotics trade but failed to outline how.
