Mumbai - On October 20, 2026, Mumbai's DRI arrested a Zambian woman at Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (CSMIA). The 190 grams of cocaine she was carrying were discovered concealed within her body. The arrest came after intelligence led DRI to suspect human body packing, a method where smugglers conceal drugs inside human bodies.
The woman had arrived in Mumbai from Sierra Leone by way of Ethiopia. She was subjected to medical examination at a state-run facility to recover the drugs. 11 drug capsules were expelled from her body during the evaluation. The cocaine was later identified and the woman was arrested under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act. Authorities are now investigating the distribution network and the backers of this operation.
