Acting on intelligence inputs, the Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) Mumbai officers intercepted a passenger who arrived in India from Nairobi on 17 January 2025 at the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International (CSMI) Airport.

During the search of the passenger's belongings, officers uncovered drugs ingeniously concealed within the handbag in his possession. A detailed examination revealed that the white powdery substance, suspected to be cocaine, had been skilfully hidden between the outer and inner layers on both sides of the bag.
