In one of the biggest drug hauls in recent times, heroin worth 2,000 crores was seized in Mumbai on Monday.
The massive consignment was smuggled from Iran by sea, according to the Directorate of Revenue Intelligence. It was to be transfered to Punjab by road from the Jawaharlal Nehru Port in Navi Mumbai, officials added.
According to the DRI, the confiscated heroin was concealed in two containers with talcum stones.
