Chennai:
Based on intelligence, Customs detained one postal parcel suspected to contain narcotic substance, which arrived from France. On examination, officials found pink coloured tablets suspected to be MDMA, a narcotics substance, inside a plastic pouch. The tablets, known as “ACAB Pig”, were in the shape of a pig. The tablets contained around 250 mg of MDMA, which is a very high dose. As many as 130 MDMA pills, valued at Rs 4 lakh, were seized under the NDPS Act. Meanwhile, footfall of domestic passengers witnessed a dip on Tuesday and airport sources attributed the decrease to the confusion at e-pass counters at the airport.
