In a daring operation, NCB sleuths jumped from the first floor of a building to nab a fleeing drug peddler who had leapt out to evade arrest, officials said.

The culprit was identified as Samir Mukhtar Sayyed alias Salim Langda who was operating from a premise in Jogeshwari east suburb. Following a tip-off, an NCB team carried out surveillance and raided the premises in the early hours of Sunday and as Salim Langda vaulted out to escape, he was caught by the sleuths who jumped down after him.
