At least six persons including a doctor have been arrested for allegedly trying to smuggle Codeine Based Cough Syrup (CBCS) also known by the nickname "Lean" and "Sizzurp" in narcotics circles, across the Indo-Bangladesh border, a senior officer of the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB), Kolkata Zone, said on Saturday.
Acting on a tip-off, sleuths of the NCB Kolkata Zone sleuths on Thursday night conducted raids in Barrackpore and arrested the six, who are allegedly part of a syndicate involved in smuggling Codeine syrup, much preferred by drug addicts looking for a quick high, across the Indo-Bangladesh border, he said.
The team also seized around 2,245 CBCS of Dialex DC bottles which they claimed had been stored for smuggling across the barbed wire fence which marks the border between the two countries.
"They have been involved in trafficking CBCS from Barrackpore to Nadia in light medium vehicles. First, we apprehended two persons and then after grilling them caught the medical practitioner and a medical representative of Dr. Reddy's," he said.
