Mumbai Customs Nets Rs 14.5 Crore Hydroponic Weed Haul

Mumbai Customs officials made a significant drug bust on August 7, 2025, seizing 14.5 kg of hydroponically grown cannabis. The contraband, valued at a staggering Rs 14.5 crore, was discovered concealed within a trolley bag.

The drugs were found in the possession of a passenger arriving from Bangkok. The individual has been apprehended under the stringent provisions of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act.

Investigations are underway to ascertain the source of the narcotics and identify any potential accomplices involved in the smuggling operation.

This substantial seizure underscores the persistent challenge of drug trafficking through major Indian airports and highlights the crucial role of customs officials in combating this menace. The case serves as a stark reminder of the escalating threat of sophisticated drug smuggling networks targeting India.
