HYDERABAD: A 32-year-old South African national, who claimed to be “seven-month pregnant”, was arrested for trying to smuggle in narcotic substance concealed in her belly and urogenital tract, at the RGI Airport on Sunday morning.
Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) sleuths became suspicious after looking at her passport and travel pattern over the last one week. On subjecting her to medical examination, they discovered that she had swallowed the banned drugs which were packed in small polymer packets.
The woman, Mosiea Moosa, a South African national (passport number P-A04856058), was rushed to Osmania Hospital by the NCB sleuths to get the packets of drugs out of her body.
The NCB sleuths intercepted Mosiea at the RGI Airport after she arrived from Dubai by Emirates flight EK-526 on Sunday morning. “When we intercepted her, Mosiea said she was walking with difficulty as she was seven-month pregnant. When we shifted her to a corporate hospital at the airport for preliminary examination, she admitted that she was carrying narcotics in her stomach,” a NCB officer said.
