Second charge sheet by NIA in Mundra port drug case
National Investigation Agency has filed another charge sheet on the Mundra port drug case.
The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has filed another supplementary chargesheet in the Mudra port narcotics-related case.
The investigating agency has accused 22 people, including its companies. It has been stated in the charge sheet that many of the accused have links with Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Dubai.
In 2021, about three thousand kilos (2988.210 Kg of Heroin) were seized from Mundra Port by a ship from Afghanistan via the Iran route (Afghanistan via Bandar Abbas, Iran).
The matter was first disclosed by the Central Investigation Agency (Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI), after which many major actions were taken, and the accused were arrested.
Considering the seriousness of the matter, the investigation of the matter was handed over to the NIA.
The case was taken up by the NIA on October 14 2021 and is being thoroughly investigated, leading to major revelations by the investigating agency.
Another supplementary charge sheet has been filed. 22 accused have been named as accused in the February 20, 2023 case.
The case against 22 accused on Mundra Port drug case:
The first chargesheet was filed last year on March 14, 2022, in which 16 accused were convicted, followed by the first supplementary chargesheet on August 28, 2022, under which 9 accused were indicted.
But if we talk about this year’s second supplementary charge sheet, among the 22 accused named as accused, many foreign nationals are also named.
Role of the terrorist organization:
During the investigation of this matter, the role of the Pakistani terrorist organization Lashkar-e-Taiba (Lashkar-e-Taiba) also came to light, which was using the proceeds from the drug trade in terrorist activities.
Hence, considering the seriousness of this matter, the investigating agency is investigating further in this matter.
