The Indian Coast Guard (ICG) on May 21 apprehended a Pakistani fishing vessel off Gujarat and seized 200 kg heroin, worth 600 crore in the international market, reports The Hindu. According to Additional Director General K. Natarajan, Coast Guard Commander (Western Seaboard), late on May 20 received intelligence input from the Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) and other agencies that a Pakistani fishing boat was to deliver narcotics off Gujarat and that it was to be received by an Indian boat. The ICG swiftly diverted its ships to effect interception of the boat. In the early hours of May 21, one of the Coast Guard ships intercepted the Pakistani fishing boat Al-Madina off Jakhau in the Arabian Sea. “Despite evasive manoeuvres carried out by the crew of Al-Madina and rough sea conditions, it was successfully intercepted within Indian waters. During the hot pursuit, the crew threw bags containing suspicious material into the sea. The Coast Guard team, upon boarding the vessel, took the crew into custody and retrieved the material,” Mr. Natarajan said. “On initial checking 195 packets containing 200 kg of heroin has been found. The Pakistani vessel crew are being subjected to interrogation and rummaging is being carried out by various agencies,” Mr. Natarajan said.

Although National Socialist Council of Nagaland- Isak-Muivah (NSCN-IM), is suspected to be involved in the incident, it has denied its involvement. Though officials said other factions could be behind the killing, suspicion is more on NSCN-IM because of its alleged push for including the Tirap Changlang Longding (TCL) region within ‘greater nagalim’. NSCN -IM has been enjoying the upper hand in TCL region because of pressure on the Khaplang group from both the Indian and Myanmar armed forces. Four communities — Nocte, Tangsa, Tutsa, and Wanch which were clubbed as “other Naga tribes” in the Scheduled Tribe list are said to be the primary reason behind the NSCN-IM’s attempt to control this area, adds The Hindu on May 22. The Member of Legislative Assembly (MLA) Tirong Aboh is a member of Nocte community. TCL areas has seen turf wars between NSCN-Khaplang (NSCN-K) and NSCN-IM besides opium cultivation, reports The Hindu. According to a 2013 survey by the Narcotics Control Bureau, opium cultivation is widespread in Anjaw, Lohit and in Upper Siang Districts of Arunachal Pradesh as well. Security agencies say members of the extremist groups either fund or are directly involved in the opium cultivation and trade to sustain their subversive activities.

A multi-agency probe involving Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI), Intelligence Bureau (IB), Customs and India’s external intelligence agency Research and Analysis Wing (RAW) has begun on suspicion of narco-terrorism soon after six Pakistan nationals were arrested in high sea off Gujarat coast from a fishing boat from Karachi, reports Times of India on May 25. This incident was earlier reported by South Asia Terrorism Portal (SATP) on May 22. In a simultaneous operation, three Pakistani and three Nepali nationals were arrested in Kathmandu with Rs 7.6 crore in fake Indian currency notes (FICN) of Rs 2000 denomination. “Those arrested included FICN kingpin Yunus Ansari,” said a senior DRI official. Ansari is known to have links with India’s most wanted don Dawood Ibrahim and Pakistan intelligence agency ISI (Inter-Services Intelligence) and has been responsible for running FICN network from Nepal. He is also suspected to have links with proscribed Pakistani terror outfit Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) that has been responsible for several bomb blasts in India. Son of a former Cabinet minister of Nepal Saleem Mia Ansari, Yunus was arrested twice earlier in 2010 and in 2014 based on DRI information for circulating FICN. “In the last few months, maritime route in the Indian Ocean has been exploited by the international organised narcotic smuggling syndicates for trafficking drugs. The other sensitive route has been India-Pakistan border in J&K where DRI had made seizure of heroin and arms and ammunition in a joint operation with Indian army last year,” a senior DRI official said.

The consignment crossed into India via trucks on June 26 and was unloaded into an open space meant for storage. Interestingly, the large consignment went through truck scanners installed by Pakistan customs on their side of the border. There are no truck scanners installed on the Indian side. “There must be some lapse somewhere on the part of Pakistan. There are scanners on their side. It should have been detected. We cannot comment right now,” said Dipak Kumar Gupta, Commissioner, Customs, Amritsar. According to the statement, After the bust, searches were conducted at various places in Amritsar. “The mastermind of this smuggling racket based in Handwara (J&K) has been apprehended with the help of J&K Police. Further investigation is under progress,” the press note said. Dipak Kumar Gupta, Commissioner, Customs, Amritsar, added: “Salt is not a commodity affected much by weather. So often it is unloaded into open space. These salt bags along with heroin bags were unloaded on June 26 and remained under open sky till June 29.”

The recent seizures of over 1,100 kg of heroin in the Indian subcontinent have left the investigating agencies worried about a spurt in the activities of Pakistan-based drug-trafficking syndicates in the region, reports The Hindu on August 5. The seized heroin is suspected to be of Afghanistan origin. An enforcement agency official said that, “Three routes are traditionally used for global distribution of Afghan heroin: the Balkans, Central Asian countries and the Indian subcontinent. Since 2015, there has been a decline in seizures on the Balkans and Central Asian routes. However, they have of late increased in the subcontinent”. The recent inland seizures have also pointed to the role of Pakistan-based syndicates, the official said. A case in point is the seizure by the Customs at the Attari Integrated Check Post (ICP) in Amritsar District of Punjab in June of 532 kg of heroin and 52 kg of other drugs. They had been declared rock salt. The alleged kingpin, Tariq Ahmed Lone of Kupwara in Jammu and Kashmir, was arrested, along with importer Gurpinder Singh. “The consignment was booked in the name of Global Vision Impex, a front for Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), in Lahore,” the official said. The seizure came a couple of months after India suspended cross-border trade through Kashmir as the route was being used to push in drugs and weapons. In several cases, the agencies have come across evidence of drug money being used to fund terror activities.

In a bid to spread its drugs empire, Dawood Ibrahim's D-Company is learnt to have entered into a partnership with Afghan drug lord Haji Lal Jan Ishaqzai, Zee News reports on August 12. According to Indian intelligence agencies, D-Company has already established ground networks in Sudan, Ethiopia, Kenya, Tanzania, Zimbabwe, Namibia and Ghana from where it hopes to carry out operations. With the increasing threat from drug traffickers, Indian security agencies have been working overtime to blunt the massive threat posed. D-Company, looking at generating capital through illegal - but lucrative - heroin trade, has taken the help of Ishaqzai to execute their nefarious plans of pumping narcotics in India and elsewhere. Indian intelligence agencies suspect that Dawood may have contacted Pakistan's Inter-State Services (ISI) to extend cover to Ishaqzai in return for his support in D-Company's drugs trade. Ishaqzai has contacts in Asia and Europe and it is this that may have already been exploited by D-Company. It is through this that D-Company may have also smuggled drugs into India via the Afghan-Pakistan route. It is suspected that drugs are hidden among or inside fruits which are then either smuggled into India via the Wagah-Attari border or through jute bags which are brought in via the sea route and into Gujarat and Mumbai.

India’s west coast is reportedly the new ‘favourite’ for Pakistan-based drug cartels to traffic drugs to Europe, Canada, and the United States, vice.com reports on August 19. The 1,600-kilometre coastline of the state of Gujarat is the key location to smuggle drugs because of its vast expanse covered with hundreds of unmanned jetties. In fact, since July 2018, Indian agencies have seized over 2,200 kilogram of heroin in Gujarat’s coast, worth more than INR 60 billion, all attributed to Pakistan and Afghanistan-based drug cartels. Gujarat reportedly became a preferred spot because other traditional routes, such as the one around Iran, shut down after international authorities tightened vigilance. Earlier, the drug cartels chose what they call the ‘Golden Crescent’—referring to Asia’s two key opium-producing regions, which overlap Afghanistan, Iran, and Pakistan—to traffic drugs to the West. But this has now come under a close watch from maritime task forces of countries such as the US and Australia. This has been leading to Pakistani cartels increasingly looking to India as a trade route. Reports also point out that the plentiful opium crop harvest of approximately 10,000 tons in Afghanistan this year (2019) the highest over the last few years, may have accelerated the drug trafficking cases. “We only know about the large seizures,” said a Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) official.

The Border Security Force (BSF) team deployed along the border near the Sutlej river had successfully seized eight kilograms of heroin and 55 grams of opium on late September 10 evening, reports DNA. The price of this heroin is being pegged at around Rs 40 crore. Since the rise of water level in the Sutlej river in Punjab's Ferozepur, smugglers from Pakistan have been continuously sending narcotics by turning the rough flow of the river into their advantage. Meanwhile, the Narcotic Control Bureau (NCB) Amritsar Sub-Zone said that it had busted an international network of drug trafficking operating in Delhi, Punjab and Mumbai with linkages in Australia and Canada, reports The Times of India. S K Jha, Deputy Director General, Northern Region, NCB, in a release issued here on September 10 informed that NCB received intelligence input that a shipment containing drugs was arriving New Delhi from Canada which contained high quality South American cocaine for high end drug users in Punjab. The consignee’s address was of Jalandhar, he added. “We immediately swung into action and checked the consignment and seized 422 gram of high quality Cocaine,” he said. Following investigations, it was revealed that Yogesh Kumar Dhuna, a resident of Jalandhar, was to receive the consignment on behalf of big traffickers in the syndicate active in Punjab. During investigation, the alleged accused revealed names of others who had approached him to receive the consignment. Also, with the BSF and Police increasing vigil along the India-Pakistan border in Punjab in the wake of the Pulwama terror attack, the National Capital has become the transit route of choice for smuggling of heroin into Punjab instead of sneaking the contraband through the barbed fence, reports Hindustan Times on September 12. The Punjab Police’s anti-drug Special Task Force (STF) claimed this after an analysis of recent drug seizures. STF (border range) inspector general (IG) RK Jaiswal said that “We analysed 10 cases of seizures of heroin in the state and found that the contraband was smuggled via Delhi in eight of them.”
