Mumbai: The Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) has dismantled an interstate drug syndicate operating from Ulhasnagar in Thane district. During a two-day operation, NCB seized Codeine syrup bottles and marijuana with an collective estimated value of Rs 1.75 crore from six individuals.

The seizure included 4,800 bottles of Codeine syrup and 75 kilograms of ganja.

Prima facie, the drug racket was involved in inter-state trafficking of illicitly diverted CBCS (Codeine Cough Syrup) bottles, the NCB official said on Saturday.

According to PTI, a consignment was tracked at a courier office in Ulhasnagar on Thursday, following which an NCB team intercepted and arrested a suspected receiver, Vinod P, carrying 4,800 CBCS bottles.

Based on the interrogation, NCB sleuths intercepted a vehicle in Bhiwandi, also in Thane district, on Friday, leading to the seizure of 75 kg ganja and Rs 1.18 lakh cash, suspected to be proceeds of illicit drug sale, the official said.

Occupants of the vehicle identified as Manish P, Akash P, Raj K, Mohanish S and Sunny J were arrested under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act. Further investigation is underway, the official said.

Medical Dialogues team had earlier reported that 72,000 bottles of a banned cough syrup containing codeine had been seized in Madhya Pradesh and arrested a father-son duo in this case.
