Ahmedabad Customs recover 50 boxes of empty cartridges in parcel from US

Updated: Nov 20th, 2024


Empty cartridge boxes were found by the Customs department of Ahmedabad in a parcel received by the Foreign Post Office in Shahibaug.

A total of 50 boxes containing empty cartridges were found in the parcel.

The parcels were addressed to an unknown person in Porbandar, and were sent from the USA. However, upon investigation, no such person was found.

This raised further suspicion, leading the authorities to speculate that this could be part of a larger racket involving illicit operation.

Officials are now coordinating with the US Customs department to identify the sender, and how such a parcel could have missed inspection from the origin country.

This discovery has raised even more suspicion within the department, empty cartridges in such quantities have never been found.

Earlier, the department had seized 58 parcels containing hybrid marijuana hidden inside toys, valued at ₹3.50 crore. The parcels came from the USA, Canada, the UK, and Singapore.
