Mumbai : The cocaine seizure from the Jawaharlal Nehru Port here on Saturday was the biggest in Asia and dispatchers of the drug could have been testing India as a transit route, the Narcotics Control Bureau said on Sunday. ``It is something unusual,'' Director General of Narcotics Control Bureau K.C. Verma told reporters here, commenting on the seizure of 200 kg of cocaine, worth Rs. 500 crore in the international market. According to him, the biggest cocaine seizure this year was of 136 kg in China. Mr. Verma declined to say how many persons have been detained for interrogation. However, NCB sources said five persons have been detained and were being questioned. According to Mr. Verma it was too premature to comment if the Mumbai underworld was involved in the case. He said the NCB had been on the lookout for the cocaine consignment. On specific information, m.v. Voyager was intercepted when it entered Indian waters on June two and NCB officials searched it. — PTI
