The Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) seized drugs valued at nearly Rs 5 crore from a Nigerian woman travelling on a bus from Delhi to Mumbai, officials said on Friday.
Acting on specific intelligence, DRI officials tracked the bus near Mumbai and intercepted the woman early Thursday morning. They recovered 2.56 kg of methamphetamine and 584 grams of ecstasy tablets, hidden inside food packets (oats) and juice tetra packs.
The intended receiver of the drugs was also arrested during a follow-up operation.
Methamphetamine and ecstasy, popular stimulant drugs at rave parties, are banned substances under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, under which the Nigerian woman has been arrested. An investigation is ongoing.
