The Air Intelligence Unit (AIU) has arrested four passengers at Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport in Mumbai in connection with a drug smuggling case.
Officials reported that the passengers were intercepted during routine checks, and a significant quantity of narcotics was recovered from their possession. The drugs were concealed in luggage and personal belongings to evade detection.
The arrests were made as part of intensified surveillance and security measures at the airport, aimed at curbing illegal trafficking activities. The seized contraband has been sent for forensic analysis to determine its exact nature and market value.
Authorities stated that the accused passengers are being interrogated to trace the larger network involved in the smuggling operation. Further investigations are underway to identify possible links to international drug cartels.
Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport, one of India’s busiest gateways, has witnessed several such attempts in recent months. The AIU emphasized its commitment to maintaining strict vigilance and ensuring passenger safety.
