DRI seized 55.860 kg of methamphetamine concealed in corn kernels in Bochahan, Muzaffarpur, and arrested Mo. Bashir of Unasar village as the probe expands into an alleged international network.
Delhi Police's Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) intercepted a shipment of 55.860 kilograms of methamphetamine that had been concealed inside corn kernels in Bochahan, a town in Muzaffarpur district, Bihar. The narcotics were reportedly being prepared for export when the operation uncovered the hidden load.
The seizure prompted DRI to broaden the scope of its investigation, suspecting that the corn‑packaged meth was part of a larger cross‑border trafficking scheme. Officials indicated that the method of using agricultural produce as a cover points to a sophisticated smuggling network.
Following the bust, DRI arrested Mo. Bashir, a resident of Unasar village, linking him to the intercepted consignment. The arrest is expected to provide further leads on the international connections behind the operation.
Authorities emphasized that the case underscores the ongoing challenge of drug traffickers exploiting everyday commodities to evade detection, and investigations will continue to trace the full extent of the network.
