The Indian Coast Guard (ICG) has uncovered a major international oil smuggling operation in the western maritime region off Mumbai. In a high-tech mission, three foreign vessels carrying large quantities of oil and oil-based cargo were intercepted and seized. Officials said the ships were allegedly sourcing cheap oil from conflict-affected countries like Russia and Iran and transferring it mid-sea to motor tankers in international waters.
