The Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) has successfully intercepted an international drug smuggling attempt by seizing 10.8 kilogram amphetamine concealed in postal parcel. The operation foiled a bid by a narcotics syndicate to exploit legitimate postal channels to smuggle contraband into India. The Ministry of Finance said that acting on specific intelligence, DRI officers intercepted and examined a suspicious parcel at the Foreign Post Office, New Delhi, which had arrived from a European country.
DRI officers recovered eight concealed packets containing a pink-coloured powdery substance, which tested positive for amphetamine. The Ministry said that through intelligence-led enforcement and heightened scrutiny of cross-border logistics, the DRI remains steadfast in its resolve to detect, disrupt, and dismantle illicit trafficking networks operating under the guise of legitimate trade.
