In a joint effort, the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB), along with the Indian Navy and Gujarat ATS, confiscated a staggering drug haul worth Rs 1400 crore. Five foreign nationals, comprising four Pakistanis and one Afghan, were arrested. The intercepted high-quality charas, meant for distribution in India, especially metro cities like Mumbai, included sought-after Afghan charas intended for large gatherings.

This mid-sea operation was executed based on credible information, resulting in the seizure of approximately 3,110 kg of charas/hashish, 158.3 kg of crystalline powder methamphetamine, and 24.6 kg of suspected heroin.
