Biggest drug bust in two decades: LSD, marijuana and darknet

In the biggest drug bust in 20 years, the Narcotics Control Bureau seized 15,000 LSD blots, 2.5 kg marijuana, Rs 20 lakhs deposited in bank accounts on Tuesday.

The police has arrested 6 youngsters who allegedly operated this pan-India drug network.

The seizure, as per officials, is estimated to be worth over Rs 10 crore in the international market (about Rs 5K-7K per blot) and all the six who have been taken into custody, beginning late last month, are students and youngsters who wanted to make "easy money" by remaining anonymous within the deep layers of secret internet-based apps and messenger service like WICKR.

LSD or lysergic acid diethylamide is a synthetic chemical based-drug and is categorised as a hallucinogen. It is trafficked by painting it on blots, half the size of a stamp paper, and is consumed by licking or swallowing.

"This is the "largest-ever" seizure of LSD blots in the country in a single operation. Six youngsters have been arrested till now and we are on the trail of one more such cartel," NCB deputy director general (northern region) Gyaneshwar Singh told reporters here.

Those arrested are in the age group of 25-28 years, the officials said.
