Overview

• Chennai Customs’ Air Intelligence Unit and the Directorate of Revenue Intelligence detained the actor after he arrived from Singapore on a tip-off.
• Officers found multiple packets of white powder hidden in a false bottom of his trolley, and a field test confirmed cocaine.
• During questioning, the detainee said the trolley was handed to him in Cambodia for delivery at Chennai airport.
• Officials suspect he was acting as a courier for a larger network and were examining whether the consignment was destined for Mumbai or Delhi.
• Authorities have not released the actor’s identity, and the case adds to recent high-value cocaine seizures at Chennai, including 5.6 kg and 2 kg cases earlier in September.
