Indian authorities seized 526 kg of methamphetamine and heroin from the Iranian vessel Azad west of Lakshadweep on September 25, arresting five Pakistani crew members. Investigators say the consignment used a Starlink device for communications, involved a Nigerian intermediary linked to a Gujarat suspect, and was supplied by Pakistan-based trafficker Haji Salim with intended distribution in Punjab. Probes into the wider maritime network continue.
