Woman from Zimbabwe held with heroin, methamphetamine worth Rs 60 cr at Mumbai airport

Mumbai

MUMBAI: A Zimbabwean woman was held at the Mumbai international airport allegedly with heroin and methamphetamine worth Rs 60 crore, an official of the Customs' Air Intelligence Unit said on Sunday.

The 40-year-old woman was arrested on Saturday after arriving in Mumbai on a medical visa from Harare in the southern African nation via Kigali on a RwandAir flight, he said.

"A search of her baggage revealed 7.006 kilograms of a yellowish powder, identified as heroin after tests, and 1.480 kg white crystal methamphetamine granules. The contraband, cumulatively worth Rs 60 crore, was hidden in two bags and two file folders," he informed.

She will be produced in court later in the day, he added.
