In what could be termed as a major goof-up, a team from the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) sealed the wrong flat at a building located in Santacruz (West), just days after they busted a major drug racket. On February 12, a team of NCB officials, including investigating officer Amit Tiwary, raided a hotel in Khar and nabbed South American nationals Santander Tarazana Prado and Juan Fernando Doncel Rivera, and seized 10 kg of cocaine. Based on the duo’s revelation, on February 15, the officials arrested Zahid Hussain Mir, a British national from Sakinaka, and recovered 19.080 kg cocaine.
