TGNAB links cocaine found in Telangana raids to Afganistan
Telangana Anti-Narcotics Bureau (TGNAB) has found that the cocaine that was seized during a crackdown on smugglers here was similar to that found in Afghanistan. TGNAB officials have shared the information with the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) and the Union Ministry of Home Affairs.
“We have shared intelligence on synthetic drugs with agencies across borders to identify the main foreign suppliers involved in smuggling drugs into the country,” TGNAB director Sandeep Shandilya told Deccan Chronicle. He said that foreign intelligence had helped secure leads on the main drug suppliers.
TGNAB for the first time invoked the Smugglers and Foreign Exchange Manipulators (Forfeiture of Property) Act, 1976 (Safema) on August 22 to neutralise the resources of the smuggler gangs frequently indulging in smuggling. That operation involved the seizure of `40.3 lakh cash and the TGNAB under the act secured an attachment order and seized property worth `5.2 crore from a family of Nanakramguda.
