115 Kg Cocaine Recovered in Nighttime Sea Chase Near Mundra

Swift coordination between the Indian Coast Guard and Gujarat ATS led to the seizure of 115 kilograms of cocaine during a covert maritime raid off the Gujarat coast. Spotting suspicious activity aboard MV Europe, teams rushed to the scene and retrieved five waterproof bags tossed overboard. Laboratory tests confirmed the white powder was high-grade cocaine. Officials estimate the consignment would have fetched over one thousand crore rupees abroad. The joint team has now shifted focus to tracing the intended recipients and the vessel’s ownership trail, underscoring India’s growing resolve to choke maritime drug routes.
