NEW DELHI: Cocaine worth about Rs 24 crore in the street market has been seized from the cargo terminal of Indira Gandhi International Airport here by custom officials.

The seized drug was hidden in a consignment of nylon pipes, used in industries for various purposes, and was to be sent at an address in Canada, custom officials said.

"The officials have yesterday seized 4.8 kg cocaine in a consignment which was to be shipped to Canada. The drug was hidden in nylon pipes," Additional Commissioner of Customs at cargo terminal, IGI, K K Katheria said.

The consignment was booked by a person said to be living in Moradabad, he said.

"The address, mentioned to book the cargo, was wrong," Katheria said adding that further probe to nab the culprit was on.

Custom officials were also questioning a courier company which had booked the consignment.

A kilogram of cocaine is valued about Rs five crore in the international market.

Incidentally, the drug which has been commonly found in powder form was being smuggled through the courier in gel form.

In a similar catch, custom officials had last month seized cocaine worth Rs 25 crore, kept in packets of snacks, from the IGI.
