Six Pakistani nationals were apprehended near Gujarat's Porbandar coast while attempting to smuggle drugs worth Rs 400 crore into India. Acting on a tip-off, a joint operation by the Narcotics Control Bureau, Indian Coast Guard, and Gujarat Anti-Terrorism Squad led to their capture. This marks the second significant drug bust in the region within a month, following a previous seizure of drugs valued at over Rs 2,000 crore on February 28. The individuals were allegedly planning to transport the banned substances to Delhi and Punjab via an Indian vessel. The operation underscores ongoing efforts to combat drug trafficking along the coast.
