  • In what is the largest cocaine haul by the Mumbai Police, the Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) seized contraband weighing over 1 kg and worth Rs 1 crore on Monday from two persons, who it suspects are local conduits of an international drug cartel that may even be linked to terror outfits.

    The two were arrested from south Mumbai after ATS received information about them last month and had been trailing them ever since. The two were nabbed after they brought in the contraband and were in the process of hiding it before distributing smaller consignments to peddlers.

    According to sources in the ATS, it has now sent out teams to a north Indian city to nab two Nigerian nationals who are also involved. The ATS, however, is keeping quite about the seizure and the arrests— it is not even disclosing the identities of those held.
