In February, New Zealand customs authorities and Australian police provided information indicating that substantial amounts of pseudoephedrine, concealed within desiccated coconut powder, were being dispatched to both countries. Additionally, the US Drug Enforcement Administration provided intelligence suggesting that the origin of these shipments was located in Delhi.

A collaborative effort between the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) and the Delhi Police’s Special Cell has successfully dismantled an international drug trafficking syndicate. In Delhi alone, authorities seized at least 50 kg of Pseudoephedrine.

Following extensive interrogation, officials disclosed that over the past three years, a total of 45 consignments had been dispatched. These shipments contained approximately 3,500 kg of Pseudoephedrine, valued at over ₹2,000 crore in the international market, as per reports.
