BEIJING: A man in China has been caught smuggling heroin in his foreskin on a train from Beijing to Tibet, rail authorities said.
Transport police found the man acting suspiciously during a routine check on passengers travelling between the Chinese capital and Lhasa. When they asked the unnamed man to take a urine test it showed a positive result for morphine.
But a thorough inspection of the man’s belongings and clothes did not yield any drugs, the Legal Evening News, a state-run newspaper, reported here the other day.
During a lengthy interrogation the man confessed to carrying illegal narcotics and produced a small plastic wrap from his foreskin. In the wrap was a tenth of a gram of heroin.
This year the Beijing Railway Police have caught six people smuggling drugs between Beijing and Lhasa, according to the report.
