In Surat, Gujarat, India, a Nigerian woman was detained with cocaine and methamphetamine valued at more than Rs 2 crore.

The accused was taken into custody by the Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI), Surat, on Friday, January 23, 2026, according to The Times of India. 

Cornflakes packets and multivitamin containers were cleverly used to hide the contraband. Afterwards, the defendant was placed under DRI custody.

The woman was traveling from Faridabad to Mumbai on train No. 12904, the Golden Temple Mail, when DRI officers stopped her based on specific intelligence. 

Railway officials, the Government Railway Police (GRP), and the Railway Protection Force (RPF) assisted in her detention at the railway station.

The DRI team carried out a thorough search because the suspect first denied having any contraband. 

Officers recovered a packet hidden inside a multivitamin container from her purse, containing a white powdery substance. 

A further personal search led to the recovery of a cornflakes packet strapped around her abdomen, which contained a yellowish crystalline substance.

Preliminary field tests using a narcotics detection kit confirmed that the white powder was cocaine, while the crystalline substance was methamphetamine.

In total, officials seized 903gm of methamphetamine and 50gm of cocaine from the passenger.

The narcotics were confiscated under the provisions of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act, and the woman was arrested for further investigation. 

Authorities are now probing the source of the drugs and their intended destination.

The seized substances have been sent for laboratory analysis to determine their purity. 

Based on a preliminary assessment, the methamphetamine is estimated to be worth between Rs 1.5 crore and Rs 1.8 crore, while the cocaine is valued at around Rs 50 lakh.
