Major Crackdown on Alleged Import Fraud as Directorate of Revenue Intelligence Uncovers Massive Consignment of Pakistan-Origin Rock Salt
New Delhi: The Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) has busted an alleged illegal import operation involving more than 73 lakh kilograms (7,300 metric tonnes) of Pakistan-origin rock salt, leading to the arrest of four individuals.
The case has raised serious concerns over the alleged circumvention of India’s import restrictions and customs regulations concerning goods originating from Pakistan.
The investigation reportedly centres on the movement of large quantities of rock salt into India through allegedly unlawful import practices. Authorities are examining the role of those involved in the import operation and the possible wider network behind it.
The arrests mark a significant development in efforts to prevent illegal cross-border trade and strengthen customs enforcement.
Further details regarding the consignment’s value, import routes and the identities of those arrested are awaited.
