The Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) has seized 6.642 kg of amphetamine from a passenger on a bus from Delhi to Bhopal and arrested him, the agency said.
Officers stopped the passenger on 5 November on specific intelligence. In his luggage they found three silver-coloured plastic packets of a white crystalline substance weighing 6.642 kg. A field test with an NDPS kit confirmed amphetamine, a psychotropic substance controlled under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act, 1985.
The DRI said the man was already out on bail in another NDPS case registered by Bengaluru Police, which it said points to his alleged involvement in repeated trafficking. The release does not name him. The allegations have not been tested in court.
