<h1>DRI seizes 28 containers of Pakistani-origin cosmetics and dates worth Rs12 crore; two suspects arrested for alleged import ban evasion</h1> The Directorate of Revenue Intelligence seized 28 containers of cosmetics and dry dates of Pakistani origin worth about Rs 12 crore at Nhava Sheva for alleged breaches of a statutory ban on direct or indirect imports from Pakistan. Authorities allege transshipment via a UAE port with fabricated invoices and misdeclared country of origin to evade the prohibition; two suspects - a Dubai-based facilitator and a customs broker - were arrested. The operation implicates offences under customs and anti-smuggling laws for contravention of import restrictions, false declarations and concealment of origin, and involves alleged illicit cross-border financial flows.
