Indian Customs Seizes Ketamine Bound For Malaysia

Chennai: Another trick to smuggle drugs to Malaysia -- by concealing them in ice-cream vending machines -- was exposed at Chennai airport with the arrest of an unemployed Indian national this week.
Based on tip-off, the Chennai Customs Air intelligence unit, which kept vigil on passengers bound for Malaysia, noticed a man lugging a bulky package, which officials later found to be an ice-cream vending machine, inside the airport.
Sleuths stopped the 32-year-old man who was preparing to board a flight to Malaysia on Wednesday night for questioning and during interrogation the nervous suspect divulged that he was carrying narcotics to Malaysia.
Officers dismantled the vending machine and discovered 14.79kg of ketamine hidden inside.
