As far as reaching it in India is concerned, its smuggling has various modus operandi – some stuff it in shoes whereas some peddlers hide it in specially made pockets in inner wear.” said an official.

In this case where five Nigerian nationals were arrested on Thursday, they did the dealing through mobile phone which has also been seized by the police team. In some cases peddling through the internet has also come to light. As part of the drive which was started by the crime branch and the ANC until now the police have seized 379 grams of cocaine amounting to over 25 lakh rupees
