Woman poses as NIA officer to smuggle drugs at Delhi

India Nov 11, 2025

A woman tried to sneak through Delhi airport pretending to be an NIA officer, but customs and the Air Intelligence Unit quickly saw through her act.
She'd just landed from Bangkok, sporting an NIA jacket and fake ID.
When officials checked her bags, they found over 11kg of hydroponic weed hidden inside.

Investigators are now looking into how she pulled this off

Her plan to use a fake identity card fell apart after X-ray scans flagged something off in her luggage.
Inside were 20 cloth bags labeled with the NIA name, all packed with weed.
She's now been arrested under the NDPS Act, and investigators are digging into how she pulled this off and if anyone else was involved.
