Ahmedabad DRI (Directorate of Revenue Intelligence) seized 6 kg and 9.5 kg of hybrid marijuana from two passengers arriving on a flight from Bangkok, Thailand. The marijuana was vacuum-sealed in plastic bags, and a chemical was added to mask the smell of the drugs.

In just two consecutive days, a large quantity of marijuana was seized at Ahmedabad airport. On Monday, the Customs Department seized 6.5 kg of hybrid marijuana from a Thai national arriving from Bangkok, with an estimated value of ₹5 crore.

Following this incident, DRI officials received a tip-off that another passenger on the same flight was working for international drug cartels and was carrying hybrid marijuana in their baggage. Based on this tip-off, DRI officials searched the baggage of the Indian national and found the marijuana hidden inside plastic containers between clothes.

In just two days, DRI and Customs have seized more than ₹20 crore worth of marijuana.

Airport has installed special baggage screening machines to detect drugs smuggled by passengers on international flights, but drug traffickers have been finding ways to bypass them.
