Lucknow: CBI on Friday arrested a man from Prayagraj in connection with a case involving 3,726 gm psychotropic substances that were seized recently.
Accused Mohit Jaiswal was produced before court and sent to judicial custody.
CBI sources said that NCB had been tipped off about three consignments by the Interpol drug unit on July 4. Later, three suspicious parcels were received at the office of foreign post office on Kotla road in Delhi on July 6.
CBI said that the parcels bearing numbers had receivers named as Arjun Gupta of Mumbai and two of Anil Kumar of Prayagraj and Jennifer.
CBI checked the consignments in the presence of customs department teams and found that each of the three consignments had packets marked with alphabets A to E.
