A patrol group of the Border Security Force (BSF) Bhuj seized at least 10 packets of cannabis (charas) packed in rice packets from Varaya Thar Bet off the coast of Karmatha (Jakhau Coast) in Gujarat.
The narcotics were discovered in ‘Cobra Brand Kohinoor Basmati Rice’ packets. BSF, Gujarat Police, Coast Guard, and Customs had previously seized charas packs off the coast and creek area of Jakhau.
