Mumbai: The air intelligence unit (AIU) arrested a Chenna ibased commerce graduate at Mumbai airport for allegedly attempting to smuggle out five kg of party drug ketamine to Malaysia on Friday night. The drugs are estimated to be worth Rs 50 lakh in the Indian market.
This is the fifth such case to be detected by the AIU in a fortnight and 14th since September. About 100 kg of drugs have been seized in the last three months.
AIU officials said Abdul Latif Shamsuddin (30) was intercepted moments before he was to board a Malaysia Airlines flight to Johor Bahru at 11pm. The drug was reportedly concealed in a special compartment inside his suitcase.
