Indian national had RM380,000 drugs in 2 bags at airport

Kuching: The state Customs seized ketamine worth RM382,655 last Sunday at the Kuching International Airport. A 32-year-old Indian national who flew in from New Delhi was detained when he was behaving suspiciously.
His two bags contained nine stainless-steel milk boilers rigged to smuggle ketamine into the state.
The man has been remanded for four days.
State Customs director Datuk Rusmani Abdul Sukur said the department was tightening surveillance at all entry points due to the number of ketamine seizures this year.
"This the second largest haul this year."
The seizure comes in the wake of the detention of a 32-year-old Indian national in possession of 7kg of ketamine worth RM245,000 at the airport here two months ago.
He was detained after Customs officers found him smuggling 46 bags of the drug in a 21-inch television set.
