M Chikakwiya (24) was intercepted in the early hours by the security officials on the basis of suspicion as she arrived at the Indira Gandhi International (IGI) Airport to take a flight to the Ethiopian capital of Addis Ababa, the official said.
A search of her bag led to the recovery of 13 wooden chess and ludo playing boards inside which the drug, pseudoephedrine, was concealed. The drug is abused as a stimulant.
The total quantity of the drug recovered is 14.5 kg, valued at over Rs. 21.75 lakh, and the woman has been handed over to the anti-narcotics officials for further probe, he added.
