DRI Seizes 10.8 Kg Amphetamine in Postal Parcel

New Delhi, Nov 14 (VNI) : The Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) has seized 10.8 kg of amphetamine concealed inside a postal parcel arriving from Europe, foiling an attempt by an international narcotics syndicate to smuggle illegal drugs into India by misusing legitimate postal trade channels.
According to official sources, acting on specific intelligence, DRI officers intercepted a suspicious parcel at the Foreign Post Office in New Delhi. The parcel, which had arrived from a European country, was declared to contain “Kleren” (clothes). Although the initial inspection revealed ordinary household garments inside the shipping carton, a detailed examination exposed a cleverly designed concealment arrangement.
During the examination, officers discovered eight concealed packets, with two plastic pouches hidden on each of the four sides of the carton. The packets contained a pink-coloured powdery substance that tested positive for amphetamine, weighing approximately 10.8 kg in total.
The entire consignment was seized under the relevant provisions of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act, 1985. Further investigation is underway to identify and trace the wider network involved in the smuggling attempt.
The DRI reiterated its commitment to strengthening intelligence-led enforcement and monitoring cross-border logistics to detect and dismantle illicit trafficking networks operating under the cover of legitimate trade, safeguarding India’s economic frontiers and national security.
