A Zimbabwean woman has been arrested in India carrying close
to three kilogrammes of party drugs. She was nabbed as she
tried to smuggle the drugs to Manila in Philippines via Goa.
Security officials got a tip-off from the Narcotics Control
Bureau about a foreign woman carrying drugs on Monday. On the same evening,
Betty Rame reached the departure terminal of the Indira Gandhi International
Airport at around 8:30 to catch a flight to Goa. Just as she was about to enter
the airport from Gate 3, a security official stopped her.
Betty Rame was then frisked and made to give her baggage
for checking. When the officers passed her suitcase through the X-BIS machine,
officials spotted an image which looked suspicious. On lifting it, it seemed
unusually heavy.
The CISF staff then cut open the false cover to find a
packet weighing about three kilogrammes. On closer inspection, they realised
the packet contained popular party drug methamphetamine or "ice".
"About 3 kilogrammes of methamphetamine, a party drug
also known as 'ice', was recovered from the bag of the woman who hails from
Zimbabwe. She was handed over to the NCB," a CISF official said.
