NCB has released the names of some companies providing consultancy services. These companies will provide effective guidelines for tracking and financial investigation of financial transactions related to drugs business.

Initially, these financial experts will be attached to NCB’s regional offices in Delhi, Chennai, Kolkata, Mumbai, Chandigarh, Bengaluru and Guwahati. The use of crypto currency in drug smuggling is increasing in the country. Due to online trading, it is becoming difficult for NCB to trace the drug chain. In this case, expert services will help speed up the investigation.
NCB chief Pradhan gave instructions last year
Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) chief SN Pradhan had last year directed officials to investigate only cases of inter-state and international ramifications, complex investigations and cases involving high-profile alliances and gangs. He had asked the investigative units of the bureau to properly investigate the transactions related to drug cases and file charge sheets in the competent courts in time. The directions were given by Pradhan during the arrest of Shahrukh Khan’s son Aryan in the cruise drugs case by Mumbai NCB.
