<p data-start="273" data-end="673"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;">Acting on specific intelligence, DRI officials in Mumbai tracked the suspect overnight, trailing her for nearly 50 kilometers before intercepting her along with her baggage. During the search, officials discovered a sophisticated concealment technique where packets of oats and juice tetra packs were used to hide 2.56 kilograms of crystalline methamphetamine and 584 grams of MDMA (ecstasy) tablets.</span></p>

<p data-start="815" data-end="1063"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;">Following the arrest, a coordinated follow-up operation led to the detention of the intended recipient of the drug consignment. Authorities confirmed that the seized narcotics hold an estimated value of ₹5 crore on the international illicit market.</span></p>
