An Indian woman arriving from Bangkok was intercepted at Terminal 3 of Indira Gandhi International Airport on 10 October on the basis of passenger profiling, officials said on Monday 12 October in a PTI brief carried that evening.[1] Profiling had flagged her on arrival, and examination of her trolley bag turned up six polythene pouches holding a green substance suspected to be water-grown hydroponic cannabis.[1]
The official customs statement gives the net weight as 16,041 grams and the estimated value at around Rs 5.62 crore.[1] The load was seized under the provisions of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, and the woman was arrested under the Act’s relevant sections the same day the case was announced.[1] The brief names no flight number and no onward plans for the consignment.[1] The accompanying Rediff illustration is declared AI-generated and representational, so no event photograph is listed.[1]
