According to sources, the ED has filed a case under the Anti-Money Laundering Act (PMLA). DRI authorities detained a Chennai-based couple in delhi after capturing the drugs on accusations of smuggling 3,000 kg of heroin from Afghanistan. The two were apprehended after the central agency conducted searches in delhi, Chennai, tamil Nadu, and Ahmedabad, Gandhidham, and Mandvi, Gujarat.
The DRI has detained eight people so far, including one Uzbek citizen and four Afghan nationals. Officials said the heroin was smuggled covertly as semi-processed talc stones from afghanistan by Vijaywada-based Aashi Trading Company, according to the DRI investigation. The shipment was sent from Iran's Bandar abbas Port to Gujarat's Mundra Port.
A few Afghans and indians are suspected of being involved in the smuggling of high-quality heroin, according to the investigating authorities. According to reports, the confiscated shipment originated in afghanistan when the Taliban gained control of the nation.
