The zonal unit of Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) raided a warehouse at Dhumaal Nagar, Sagar Industrial Estate in Palghar on Sunday evening and seized 353 grams of Ephedrine. One canister of 52.875 kg liquid chemical purported to be Propiophenone, a raw material used for synthesis of Ephedrine, was also seized from the location.

A new Modus Operandi has come to light in this case wherein the traffickers identify a secluded warehouse/gala and store/hide the contraband to avoid detection.
