MUMBAI: Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) on Friday seized a Rs 14 lakh consignment of 14 high-quality drones, which are banned in India. The consignment had arrived from China. At least three major companies are under the scanner for alleged complicity in smuggling in the drones, officials said.
The drones were concealed in a consignment of children’s toys.
The use and import of drones was ‘restricted’ by a notification in 2016 by Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT). It is mandatory to seek prior permission from directorate-general of civil aviation and an import licence from DGFT for import of drones.
