Not in gm, but in kg: TN cops' drug data proves Guv wrong
The New Indian Express
|October 19, 2024
Ravi had claimed police seized no synthetic drug in 3 yrs; records show 65 kg meth, 145 kg ephedrine, 92 kg hashish, 43 kg heroin, 1L tablets seized since 2021
THE data on synthetic drug seizure available with the state Enforcement Bureau-CID has debunked a statement made by Governor RN Ravi at Tenkasi two weeks ago. Addressing a function, Ravi had claimed the state police had not seized even a single gramme of synthetic drug in the past three years, while the central agencies had seized "hundreds of kilogrammes" of narcotics.
Official data sourced from the state's Enforcement Bureau-CID shows that around 65 kg of methamphetamine, 145 kg of its precursor ephedrine, 9 kg of methaqualone, 2.1 kg of LSD and over 1.23 lakh tablets have been seized across the state by the Tamil Nadu police.
