'Pregnant' with drugs, woman lands in Hyderabad
A 32-year-old South
African national, who claimed to be "seven-month pregnant", was
arrested for trying to smuggle in narcotic substance concealed in her
belly and urogenital tract, at the RGI Airport on Sunday morning.
Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) sleuths became suspicious after looking
at her passport and travel pattern over the last one week. On subjecting
her to medical examination, they discovered that she had swallowed the
banned drugs which were packed in small polymer packets.
The
woman, Mosiea Moosa, a South African national (passport number
P-A04856058), was rushed to Osmania Hospital by the NCB sleuths to get
the packets of drugs out of her body.
The NCB sleuths
intercepted Mosiea at the RGI Airport after she arrived from Dubai by
Emirates flight EK-526 on Sunday morning. "When we intercepted her,
Mosiea said she was walking with difficulty as she was seven-month
pregnant. When we shifted her to a corporate hospital at the airport for
preliminary examination, she admitted that she was carrying narcotics
in her stomach," a NCB officer said.
The NCB sleuths then rushed her to Osmania Hospital to recover the
narcotic material. By giving laxatives, the hospital staff managed to
extract 16 pouches of narcotics substance (till reports came in). The
NCB officials confirmed that no surgery was performed on the woman and
she was under medical supervision.
