Big drug bust at Mumbai airport—DRI officers found 4.7kg of cocaine hidden in a woman's luggage after she landed from Colombo.
This is part of a larger crackdown, with drugs worth ₹90 crore seized in just three days.
Five people have been arrested, including those who financed and tried to collect the smuggled drugs.

Officials say this shows how drug networks are getting smarter and harder to catch.
