Superintendent of Police, Kutch-East division Sagar Bagmar said the drug packets were perhaps left behind by smugglers to avoid getting caught by the Police. The Police were already active in the region after receiving a tip-off about the delivery of a drug consignment.

Editorial Perspective

If the recovered cocaine is so much, we cannot imagine what will be the quantity of cocaine which is not caught and is being sold on the streets to the public.
