Colombo, April 13 (Daily Mirror)- A female Madagascar national who tried to enter Sri Lanka with swallowed capsules containing cocaine worth over Rs. 26 million was intercepted by the Sri Lanka Customs at the Bandaranaike International Airport (BIA) yesterday (12) evening.
The Customs Narcotics Control Unit officials stationed at the BIA Arrival Terminal stopped the arriving passenger on suspicion that she may be carrying drugs.
Since they could not find anything in her belongings the woman was taken into custody under suspicion that she might be carrying drugs in her body.
She was then admitted to the Negombo Hospital for an X ray scan and the authorities found capsules containing drugs in her abdomen.
Since yesterday evening the officials have retrieved 57 capsules containing 620 grams of cocaine and the operation is continuing, as they suspect there are more.
Customs spokesman Senior Director Seewali Arukgoda told the Dailymirror that the female passenger had left Addis Ababa in Ethiopia and had arrived in Colombo via Mumbai.
The preliminary investigations revealed that the 38-year-old passenger had come to Sri Lanka for the first time and she has stated her purpose of visit as tourism.
This is the second cocaine detection at the BIA for this year, where earlier a Brazilian national was arrested by the Customs last month while attempting to smuggle in 132 grams of cocaine in 12 swallowed capsules.

What authorities should do is allow The culprit drug trafficker to go but PUTTA tail on her yeah follow her and find out the Ring who's responsible and where she gonna unload the cargo and find The kingpins!! Right now the authorities have only the woman and she's not gonna talk because she don't want to be the snitch and get killed.

In western countries the authorities allow The drug traffickers to roam freely And follow them closely, monitor all drug traffickers closely. there by apprehend the kingpins and everyone involved including drug suppliers, agents, dealers and retailers,!!

Why cant we be like Indonesia? Whoever traffic drugs must be executed with death penalty, No mercy should be shown in this regard, They ruin the future of our children.

Politicians don't want to be exposed and implicated for their sins, that's why they refrain from encouraging enforcing strict laws in this country.
