A total of 10.949 kg of cocaine was seized, with a market value of about INR 84.40 crore. Over 1,340 kg of ganja was recovered, valued at more than INR 44 crore.
The smuggling of MD or mephedrone, which is known in the drug market with a codeword like "aunty", was busted several times. The police seized over 275 kg of MD and arrested 376 smugglers this year.
Investigations found the smugglers used to evade the police by using codewords. The police eventually cracked the codewords using technical surveillance. There were also major seizures of cocaine, ganja and other drugs.
Along with this, a large consignment of cough syrup containing heroin, charas and codeine has been found. Not just smugglers, strict action against those who consume has been taken. At least 15,341 strips of drugs like Alprazolam and Nitravet tablets were seized.
Officials stated that the action of this scale has caused a huge damage to the drug network and many big rackets have completely collapsed. The mission marches ahead with even greater strength in 2026 towards a drug-free Mumbai.
