Mumbai cruise case: NCB suspects drugs were bought using cryptocurrency

The Narcotics Control Bureau suspects that the drugs seized from a cruise ship off the coast of Mumbai on Saturday were bought using cryptocurrency.

The Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) suspects that the drugs recovered from the ship, owned by Cordelia Cruises, on Saturday night were bought using cryptocurrency.

A high-profile drug peddler, Shreyas Nair, was arrested by the NCB in the case on Monday. He received orders for drugs through the ‘dark web’ and took payments in Bitcoin, the agency said.
