The Crime Branch team of Mumbai Police recently arrested three smugglers, who were accused of smuggling whale vomit i.e. ambergris. In this matter, Thane Police Office issued a statement saying that they had received secret information about this on September 27.
According to the Crime Branch, in this case, Thane Crime Branch’s Assistant Police Sub Inspector Dattaram Bhosle had received secret information that some people were going to come to Dombivali area around 2 pm in a car to sell whale vomit.
On receiving information, police reached the spot and arrested three accused along with Ambergris. Well, today we will tell you not about this news, but about the specialty of whale vomit, which is worth crores of rupees in the black market.
Why is this ambergris special?
Whale vomit, commonly known as “ambergris”, is a rare and very valuable substance. This thing comes from white whale. In simple language, ambergris is formed in the intestines of the white whale and then the whale spits it out. Ambergris is traditionally used in making perfumes and other types of products.
price of ambergris in black market
The price of ambergris depends on its quality, its size and its condition. Talking about its price in the black market, at present the price of one kg of good quality ambergris is around Rs 5 to 6 crores. Actually, this thing is very rare and it is very difficult to get it naturally. That is why its price is so high in the black market.
smuggling of ambergris
The high price of ambergris and its huge demand have given rise to its illegal trade. In fact, in many countries, whale hunting and the trade in whale products are legally banned. This is the reason why smugglers buy and sell it illegally. However, whales are not hunted for this, rather, ambergris is mostly found naturally on the seashore.
