According to India Today, in the last month, this is the fourth seizure of cocaine and third case of an individual carrying cocaine in his system.
Tony was intercepted by a team of NCB on February 6 on the basis of passenger profiling. He arrived at the Indhira Gandhi International Airport that morning. During the course of interrogation, Tony feigned ignorance about the presence of drugs and told the team that he visited India for business purposes.
Tony was taken to Delhi's Safdarjung Hospital where doctors confirmed the presence of foreign bodies in his stomach. He was kept in the hospital for two days during which he excreted 90 Capsules containing 1.3 kg cocaine.
He accepted that he ingested drug capsules from Lagos Nigeria and that it took him good three hours to do it. He then took a flight for Lome to Adis Ababa andthen flew down to Delhi. He was to deliver the drugs to some Nigerian in New Delhi and was supposed to get in touch after activating a local SIM card.
The investigation is ongoing and the agency is now on the lookout for people involved in cocaine distribution in India, especially in the capital city.
