More scrutiny, drug mules take indirect flights

Traffickers opt for stopovers in Gulf countries or Sri Lanka, concealing contraband in their hand luggage: Officials
FOLLOWING increased scrutiny by Indian enforcement agencies, drug traffickers from foreign countries have started choosing roundabout flights, taking a stopover in Gulf countries or Sri Lanka.
Additionally, mules have also started concealing drugs in their hand baggage instead of check-in luggage; this was evident in the Chennai Customs' bust of 5.6kg of cocaine from two Indian passengers who came from Ethiopia and another recent case of hydroponic ganja trafficked from Thailand.
According to official sources, drug trafficking gangs have been stung by the series of seizures of narcotics made by the Customs, Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) and Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) at India's airports.
