jaipur:
In probably the first case in Rajasthan, 88 capsules containing 862 g of heroin worth Rs 6 crore were extracted from a woman.
It took doctors 12 days to extract all the capsules from the African woman, some of which she had swallowed and others were hidden in her genitals, officials said.
The woman, a Sudanese national, arrived at Jaipur airport from Sharjah on Feb. 19. Officials from the Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) scanned the capsules inside her body. After receiving permission from the magistrate, she was admitted to the SMS hospital where doctors obtained the capsules from Feb. 19 to March 2, DRI sources said.
She had swallowed some capsules while others were hidden in her rectum and perineum, the sources said.
After the woman was released from hospital, she was brought before the court on Wednesday and the magistrate sent her into pre-trial detention for 14 days.
