Bhopal. In a major action, the Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) in Bhopal, the capital of Madhya Pradesh, has arrested a female smuggler traveling in a sleeper bus. Banned drugs worth approximately Rs 2 crore have been recovered from the accused woman.
DRI’s raid on ISBT
The Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) had received strong input that a woman was traveling from Delhi to Bengaluru via sleeper bus and was carrying a huge consignment of banned amphetamines, used as party drugs. On the basis of this information, action was taken in the ISBT campus of Bhopal early on Wednesday. As soon as the bus stopped, the team surrounded it and took down the bus along with its luggage and searched it.
Drugs recovered from secret pocket of purse and bag
During the search, a total of 2.604 kg of amphetamine drugs were recovered from the accused woman. The woman had very cleverly hidden this illegal material in secret pockets made between the linings inside her bags and purses. 1885 grams of drugs in silver colored plastic packets were found from the cavity of the big bag and 719 grams of drugs were found from the cavity of the handbag.
Action under NDPS Act
When the investigation team conducted field testing of the recovered substance, it was confirmed to contain amphetamine. After this, the accused woman was arrested under the provisions of NDPS Act (NDPS Act 1985). DRI is now busy searching for the supplier syndicate in Delhi and the main smugglers who received this consignment in Bengaluru.
