NCB raids drug factory in Ahmedabad, seizing millions in raw materials and detaining a couple involved in the operation.
Ahmedabad, November 15 (Daily Kiran) : The Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) has successfully dismantled a significant drug manufacturing operation in Ahmedabad, Gujarat. The raid took place in a basement near Mohammadi Park in the Sarkhej area, where an MD drug production facility was discovered.
During the operation, officials seized raw materials valued in the millions from a basement located at house number 8-213 in Labek Park. Authorities learned that the premises had been rented, and a couple had been producing drugs there for about a month. Both individuals were taken into custody, and further searches were conducted at their residence.
The house displayed a sign bearing the name M.M. Pathan, who has reportedly resided there for the past three years. Surveillance cameras were also installed at the entrance. Alongside the NCB, local police are actively investigating the case, and the landlord has been detained.
According to NCB officials, the couple had been sourcing narcotic substances from Madhya Pradesh. They are also linked to a café located on Mumtapura Road in the city. Investigations at the café are ongoing as part of the operation.
This incident follows a previous case in October when 0.77 grams of suspected methamphetamine were seized from a parcel sent via the ‘Porter’ application near Nana Chiloda Circle. The parcel’s sender was identified as 27-year-old Priyang Sanghvi, a businessman residing in the Sabarmati area.
Police revealed that the drug shipment was processed using a witness’s mobile number to log into the ‘Porter’ application, with the drugs packed in separate zip bags for delivery.
