India Nov 01, 2025

Big news from Mumbai airport: the Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) just caught a woman arriving from Colombo with 4.7kg of cocaine, hidden inside coffee packets in her bags.
The stash is worth around ₹47 crore—a huge haul confirmed by quick tests at the scene.

Five people arrested, including someone waiting for delivery

The bust didn't stop there—four more people tied to the drug syndicate were arrested, including someone waiting for the delivery and others handling money and logistics.
All five face charges under strict anti-drug laws.
Authorities are also worried about a rise in syndicates using Indian women as couriers and hiding drugs in everyday food items, calling it a new challenge for law enforcement.
