Despite efforts by the suspected drug-laden boat to evade capture, the vigilant Rajratan successfully identified and intercepted it. A specialized team from the ship conducted a thorough search, confirming the presence of narcotics onboard.

After a seven-day custody granted to NCB, Sadiq was presented before a Patiala court on Saturday. Subsequently, the anti-drug agency sought an extension for another week to probe Sadiq further in Chennai.

NCB today arrested Jaffer Sadiq, the kingpin of the drug trafficking network busted by NCB in February 2024.

Jaffar has since gone into hiding, prompting NCB officials to issue summons at his residence on Arunachalam Street, Mylapore, Chennai.

The primary objective of the operation is to collect actionable inputs that could lead to interdiction of ships carrying narcotics contraband.

The drug was transported with the help of books as it is completely odourless and tasteless. It is because of this, it becomes difficult to detect it.
