Chennai: In two separate cases, directorate of revenue intelligence (DRI) sleuths have seized nearly one crore misbranded cigarettes of an Indian brand worth 15 crore smuggled from Thailand and Dubai in ships.

The cigarettes had been imported with a false declaration as consumables (wafers) and were to be distributed as original cigarettes for retail sale across the country, said DRI sources.
