The Gujarat Anti-Terrorist Squad (ATS) on Friday said it has seized nearly six kilograms of mephedrone drug worth Rs 30 crore from a house at Vapi in Gujarat's Valsad district, and arrested one person in this connection.
In a joint operation carried out with the Daman Crime Branch on Thursday, the ATS also seized 300 kg of raw material and various apparatus used in manufacturing the contraband from a farmhouse in neighbouring Daman district of the Union Territory of Daman, Diu and Dadra, it said.
