One accused in police custody
Surat: A team of Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) arrested Darshan Golwala and his wife Dikshita and recovered at least 30 different types of high grade narcotics from them. The operation was carried out in collaboration with the Special Operation Group (SOG) of the city police.
The seized drugs include imported hybrid marijuana, hash, LSD, capsules, mephedrone and other varieties. Sources claimed that a narcotic substance weighing around one kilogram was recovered from the couple. The exact price of the seized drug is yet to be announced by the country’s top anti-drug agency.
Police sources said the total value of the total seizure should be in crores, considering the type and quantity of the narcotic substance. Sources said that the age of both the accused is around 30 years.
The drug was seized from various places in the city. The seized products are kept in the custody of the city police, while the samples will be tested at a forensic science laboratory in Delhi.
After being produced in a local court, the accused were sent on a three-day transit remand and would be taken to Delhi for further investigation. “We were assisting the NCB team and the official details will be shared by the agency only. We do not have the exact details of the seizure or arrest,” said an SOG officer.
Despite several attempts, top Gujarat NCB officials were not available for comment. The NCB is likely to share details about the preliminary investigation in the matter.
