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

- SIDDHARTH PRABHAKAR

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.
