Illegal drug trade through internet on the rise in India
Wednesday, 24th February 2010
India has emerged as a major source for illegal drugs trade on the internet with narcotics smuggled via the country's courier and postal services to the rest of the world, a new U.N. report said on Wednesday.
"Courier and postal services have become a common means of smuggling drugs out of India," the report released by the International Narcotics Control Board revealed.
Seizures of banned substances to make drugs from places like New York and cities in France and the UK highlight India's big role in the international drug trafficking racket, the report said. Some shipments were meant for Australia as well.
