Mumbai Airport Customs officials have arrested two Bangkok passengers for allegedly smuggling hydroponic weed concealed in trolley bag cavities. The two individuals, Santacruz resident A.H. Modiwala and Khar resident M.M. Mansoori, claimed to be childhood friends who agreed to carry contraband in exchange for a free trip to Bangkok.
The arrest was made after Customs officers intercepted the pair at Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport upon arrival from Bangkok. Upon searching their luggage, officers discovered four packets of hydroponic weed weighing a total of 1,923 grams hidden within the cavity of their trolley bags. Both accused reportedly admitted during questioning that they knew about the possession and concealment of the drugs, which are punishable by stringent penalties under Indian law.
However, they claimed their motive was to secure the free trip to Bangkok. Investigations are ongoing, with authorities seeking to identify and apprehend additional associates involved in the smuggling operation.
