Heroin seized at Mumbai airport

Mumbai: An alert staff of a no-frill carrier helped the airport security officials seize Rs 50 lakh worth of heroin at the airport. The goods were seized but the man carrying the narcotics in his baggage gave them the slip.
A Nigerian passport-carrying passenger, Bhola Salam, was booked on Spice Jet's evening flight SG-114 from Mumbai to Delhi, an airline spokesman said.
As his movements were found suspicious, the airline's security in-charge, Santosh Kumar, asked him to open his baggage.
But, Salam gave him the slip saying he was going to collect the keys which, he claimed, were with his colleague standing at another check-in counter at the airport.
