Drugs worth 28L seized at city airport, one arrested

Kolkata: A smuggler was arrested at Kolkata airport and 800g of hydroponic cannabis worth 28 lakh, hidden inside tea containers, was seized from him. Cops said he came from Bangkok.

"Last year, we seized around 417 kg of this type of cannabis at Kolkata Airport alone. Most of it mainly comes from Thailand. They are hiding it in an ingenious way, inside tea containers, which makes it quite difficult for us to detect. The trend we have seen is that it is usually mixed with consumables, so that they can evade detection," said Vinayak Azaad, commissioner (preventive), Kolkata Customs.
