In a significant crackdown, the Gujarat police have seized hybrid ganja and other suspected narcotics valued at around Rs 3.50 crore. The drugs, hidden in items such as baby toys and diapers, were dispatched from countries including the USA, UK, and Canada.

An FIR has been registered under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act, and a manhunt is on to nab five suspects based in New Delhi, Bengaluru, Mumbai, and Ahmedabad.

Officials revealed that the drugs were ordered via social media, Telegram, and the dark web, with payments made in cryptocurrency deposited in overseas bank accounts. A joint operation by the Ahmedabad Crime Branch and Customs Department led to the segregation of 58 couriers on Friday, uncovering hybrid ganja and kratom hidden in various items with the aid of sniffer dogs.
