The Goals of Operation Samudragupta
Beginning in February 2022, Operation Samudragupta led to the confiscation of almost 4,000 kilograms of different substances. 529 kilograms of hashish, 221 kg of methamphetamine, and 13 kg of heroin, all coming from Balochistan and Afghanistan, were discovered during the first successful operation. The effort was designed to stop Afghan-based marine narcotics trafficking.
Operation Samudragupta was started by the NCB Director General to address the threat that marine drug trafficking poses to national security in the Indian Ocean area. The goal of the operation was to acquire useful intelligence to allow for the interception of drug-laden ships. Its effectiveness was largely due to cooperation with other law enforcement and intelligence groups.
