On September 4, Indian authorities apprehended a Malaysian woman at Indira Gandhi International Airport in Delhi, reportedly attempting to smuggle 15 kilograms of cannabis. The contraband, valued at around 52.5 million rupees (RM2.2 million), was discovered during a routine inspection of the passenger's trolley bag at Terminal 3.
The woman, who had arrived from Kuala Lumpur on flight OD-205, was intercepted under a profile-based targeting system. She was subsequently detained in the Green Channel for additional screening. Upon examining her bag, customs officials found 30 polythene pouches containing an estimated 15,015.5 grams of suspected ganja (cannabis).
The suspect was promptly arrested and charged under Section 43(B) of India's Narcotics Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act, 1985, relating to possession of narcotics. The illicit drugs themselves were seized under Section 43(A) of the same legislation. A case was filed against the Malaysian national under Sections 8, 20, 23, and 29 of the NDPS Act, which pertain to illegal possession, transportation, and import of narcotics, as well as conspiracy related to such activities.
