In a joint operation with Delhi police, the Gujarat Anti-Terrorist Squad (ATS) apprehended an Afghan national and confiscated 8 kg of heroin worth 56 crore from the Lajpat Nagar area of Delhi late Thursday, officials said on Friday.
The arrested accused has been identified as Hakmatullah Noorullah alias Aman.
Sunil Joshi, SP (Operations) ATS, stated that on October 8, this year, the ATS team, along with the Indian Coast Guard, intercepted a Pakistani boat (Sakar) near Jakhau Coast in Gujarat carrying 50 kilogrammes heroin worth 350 crore and arrested six Pakistan nationals, according to report on Hindustan Times.
During their interrogation, it was discovered that Hakmatullah, who had been in India on a tourist visa for almost four years, was to receive the package, according to Joshi.
“After we nabbed Hakmatullah, he confessed about 8 kg heroin he was hiding in a car,” Joshi was quoted by HT.
“We have seized the heroin and are investigating the case. We are also looking for other suspects who were roped in for transportation of the contraband after it landed on the Gujarat sea coast,” he added.
