Porter app parcel linked to mephedrone seizure in Ahmedabad, investigation continues

In a separate incident earlier in October, Ahmedabad police intercepted a small parcel containing 0.77 gram of suspected mephedrone, a synthetic stimulant. The package had been sent through the delivery service "Porter" and was traced back to a 27‑year‑old businessman named Priyang Sanghvi, who resides in the Sabarmati area.

Investigators revealed that the suspect used a witness’s mobile number to log into the Porter application, disguising the shipment. The drug was packed in zip‑lock bags and dispatched via the delivery network, highlighting a novel method of smuggling controlled substances.

The NCB, in collaboration with local police, continues to examine connections between this parcel and the larger drug‑making operation uncovered at the Sarakhej basement lab, seeking to map the full distribution chain across the city.
