Daisy Angus, 22, a former fitness instructor from Bournemouth travelling round the world, was stopped by customs officers at Mumbai airport on 8 November 2002 as she caught a flight to Amsterdam.[1] An X-ray image of her luggage aroused suspicion, and officers opening her blue Delsey suitcase found seven slabs of hashish weighing 10 kilos in a false bottom.[1] She was travelling with an Israeli, Yoram Kadesh, whom she had met over the internet, and both were arrested.[1][2]

Angus said her own bag had been stolen in Delhi and that Kadesh, who had offered to sponsor her tickets to Berlin and on to Australia, lent her the Delsey after hers tore; her lawyer said witnesses had seen her carrying only a shoulder bag and a cloth handbag.[1] Kadesh denied the bag was his.[2] She spent four years in jail awaiting trial before the sessions court convicted her in June 2006 while acquitting Kadesh.[1]
