Hyderabad: Continuing the investigation into the recent seizure of amphetamine, Narcotics Control Bureau has further seized the narcotic drug worth Rs 2.5 crore and busted a 'drug lab' in Secunderabad.
The clandestine drugs manufacturing and processing lab was located in a 'posh defence locality,' it said in a release. NCB seized about 9.1 kg of amphetamine from there.
"Value of the drugs seized is about Rs 2.5 crore in India and about Rs 9 crore in international market," an NCB official said.
The lab was set up in the kitchen of a house, rented by Air Force Wing Commander G Rajshekhar Reddy, one of the accused arrested earlier this month.
