The Drug Enforcement Agency seized 10.8 kg of amphetamine during a raid on a Foreign Post Office, marking a significant drug bust.
Delhi's Drug Enforcement Agency (DRI) carried out a surprise operation at a Foreign Post Office, seizing a total of 10.8 kilograms of amphetamine. The seizure was confirmed by officials on the day of the raid and is being recorded as one of the larger drug finds in recent months.
According to the agency, the narcotics were concealed within parcels handled by the post office, suggesting an attempt to use the postal network for illicit drug transport. The quantity seized is sufficient to supply a substantial number of users or to be further trafficked across state lines.
DRI spokespersons said the investigation is ongoing and that they are tracing the source of the shipment. No arrests have been announced yet, but the agency has indicated that further actions will be taken against any individuals or groups linked to the operation.
The bust underscores the continued focus of Indian law‑enforcement agencies on curbing drug trafficking routes that exploit public services, including postal facilities, to move controlled substances across the country.
