The Indian Navy and the Coast Guard have in a joint operation, intercepted a boat with 8 suspected Pakistani smugglers and more than 200 packets of heroin during an operation in international waters off the Gujarat coast. A Defence Ministry statement issued in New Delhi today said that the operation was launched last week on the basis of intelligence inputs.
The boat reportedly had 8 men on board, who have been arrested. The vessel is being towed to Porbandar.
There are media reports that the boat had about 140 kg of heroin on board, but that has not been confirmed. The contraband is being analysed. http://www.vishwagujarat.com/gujarat/pakistan-boat-with-8-suspected-smugglers-drugs-intercepted-off-porbandar-coast/
