New Delhi:
A Mozambique national has been arrested for allegedly smuggling Rs 40 lakh banned narcotic drugs from the Indira Gandhi International (IGI) Airport in Delhi.
The 29-year-old man, identified as Massanngo Filipe Carlos, was intercepted by a CISF check squad in the wee hours yesterday when he was entering the Terminal 3 of the IGI to catch a flight to Johannesburg in South Africa.
"A total of 27.18-kg pseudoephedrine drugs were recovered from his baggage which is estimated to cost Rs 40 lakh in local market," a senior CISF official said.
The CISF later alerted anti-narcotics sleuths who arrested the foreigner, the official said.
