Maharashtra and the Sena were being targeted because his party broke off its ties with the BJP, Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray said.
Some 3,000 kg of heroin worth thousands of crores of rupees was seized from Mundra port in Gujarat last month, Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray reminded the BJP during his Dussehra rally speech amid an intense spotlight on what is now being called the Mumbai drugs-on-cruise case.
"Is it (drugs seizure) only happening in Maharashtra? Drugs worth crores was seized from Mundra Port. While your agencies (NCB) recovering pinch of ganja,our police recovered drugs worth Rs 150 crore. You're interested to catch celebrities and get pictures clicked," Uddhav Thackeray said on Friday.
Bollywood star Shah Rukh Khan's son, Aryan, 23, was arrested by the Narcotics Control Bureau or the NCB on October 3 in the drugs on cruise case.
The anti-drugs agency has alleged Aryan - Accused No. 1 - sourced drugs and was in touch with "some persons abroad who appear to be a part of an International Drug Network for illicit procurement of drugs".
