Lucknow: In a joint operation by the Government Railway Police (GRP) and Railway Protection Force (RPF) at the Charbagh railway station, drugs worth about Rs 2 crore were seized on Saturday.
The operation resulted in the seizure of banned drug oxytocin, valued at ₹1,93,73,904, which was allegedly being smuggled from Bihar via railway parcel. Acting on a tip-off, authorities discovered that a large consignment of oxytocin in packets had arrived in Lucknow from Chhapra on train number 15053. A search of the parcel house led to the recovery of 38 packets containing the prohibited drug.
