DRI Mumbai Seizes Pakistani Goods Worth ₹12 Crore
The DRI in Mumbai found and stopped some companies from importing goods from Pakistan.
They seized items like cosmetics and dry dates worth a lot of money.
These goods were being brought in secretly, pretending to be from other places like Dubai, because there's a ban on importing things directly from Pakistan.
The DRI arrested a few people involved in this illegal activity, including a supplier from Dubai and a customs broker.

The seizures were part of 'Operation Deep Manifest'.
