The officers of the Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) apprehended a Liberian national at Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International (CSMI) Airport in Mumbai for allegedly attempting to smuggle cocaine into the country.

Acting on intelligence inputs, the DRI detained the passenger who had arrived from Sierra Leone on Friday. During an inspection of his trolley bag, the officers found it unusually heavy even after emptying it. Following a thorough examination, the officers discovered two packets of a white powdery substance which were concealed in the bag’s false bottom.
