Mumbai Crime Branch's Anti-Narcotics Cell, Worli Unit, recently conducted a targeted operation aimed at rooting out drug dealers, suppliers, and stockpilers within the city. While carrying out their mission, they observed suspicious behavior exhibited by a foreign national in the Madanpura, Nagpada area of Mumbai. Acting swiftly, the team detained him and, upon conducting a search in the presence of witnesses, uncovered 200 grams of cocaine in his possession.
According to a police officer, the international market value of the seized cocaine is estimated to be around 8 million rupees. Additionally, it came to light that the foreign national was residing in India illegally, lacking any valid documentation. Consequently, authorities registered a case against him under the NDPS Act of 1985 and the Foreigners Act, leading to his prompt arrest.
