Bengaluru: Customs sleuths on Tuesday arrested a passenger arriving from Bangkok at the Kempegowda International Airport for allegedly trafficking drugs.

During routine checking at the airport, customs officials seized a large quantity of hydroponic cannabis from the passenger’s luggage.

Officials said around 8 kg of hydroponic cannabis was recovered, with its estimated market value pegged at approximately Rs 2.8 crore.

In a separate case on the same day, customs officials recovered about 900 grams of ganja, worth around Rs 31.5 lakh, from another passenger who had arrived from Hong Kong.

According to the officials, both passengers had concealed the narcotic substances inside their luggage in an attempt to evade detection.

A probe in connection with the incident is underway, and legal action is being pursued against them under the relevant provisions of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act.
