Mumbai: A team of the directorate of revenue intelligence (DRI) has raided Mumbai port amid the ongoing cruise drugs party case in Mumbai, the economic capital of the Country. 25 kg of heroin has been found in a container here. It is estimated to be around Rs 125 crore in the international market. One person has been arrested so far in the case. DRI's Mumbai unit has arrested 62-year-old Navi Mumbai businessman Jayesh Sanghvi after a raid on the port.

Sanghvi is alleged to have brought heroin from Iran to Mumbai in a consignment of groundnut oil. A DRI official said that based on intelligence inputs, a container from Iran was seized at Nhava Sheva in Navi Mumbai and heroin was found in this search. A DRI official said the container was imported by Sandeep Thakkar of Vaibhav Enterprises, which has an office in Masjid Bandar. He has also been questioned by the DRI team. Thakkar told DRI that Sanghvi had offered him Rs 10,000 per consignment to import goods from Iran on his firm's IEC. They had been doing business with Sanghvi for 15 years, so they believed them.

DRI arrested Sanghvi and registered a case against him under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act (NDPS). He was produced before the Metropolitan Magistrates Court on Thursday. The court remanded him to DRI custody till October 11. After Sanghvi's arrest, the DRI team has now been checking some other containers at Mumbai port since this morning.
