Customs officers from the Air Intelligence Unit (AIU) at Chaudhary Charan Singh International Airport (CCSI) in Lucknow have made a significant drug seizure, arresting a passenger for smuggling ganja, also known as hydroponic marijuana. The individual, an Indian national, arrived on a flight from Bangkok via Muscat and was directed to the Green Channel for inspection. During the examination, customs officials discovered 13 polythene packets containing a green substance weighing 10.397 kg, with an estimated market value of ₹10.39 crore. Preliminary tests confirmed the substance as ganja. The passenger has been charged under Sections 42 and 43 of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act, 1985, and authorities suspect violations of Section 8 of the same act, which could lead to severe penalties. Investigations are ongoing as officials work to uncover more details about the smuggling operation.
