A Nigerian, Joseph Onyekachukwu, has been arrested in New Delhi in what has been described as one of the biggest seizures of heroine in recent times, reports the Press Trust of India. The Nigerian national, who lives in the Dwarka area was arrested with eight kilogrammes of high-quality heroin worth about $6.3 million (Rs 40 crore) in the international market. The arrest was made by the the officials of Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) while acting on a tip off on 6th of May.

The drugs were found at his residence during a search operation. An official of the DRI says this is one of the biggest seizures of heroin made in Delhi in recent times and will assist them in busting an international racket of drug smugglers. Upon interrogation, it was discovered that Onyekachukwu used to export the heroin hidden in auto parts through either the air cargo or courier terminal and DRI officials stated that they are still trying to get details of the consignments that he has sent in the past.

Onyekachukwu has been married to an Indian woman for over six years and resided at a flat in Dwarka area. He is now under judicial custody. India is close to the Golden Crescent of Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iran where an overwhelming proportion of the world’s heroin comes from. Afghanistan alone generates 70% of the world’s heroin and much of it gets to India’s youths via drug smugglers. India is struggling hard to contain a drug addiction epidemic threatening its 1.2 billion people as this article on Foreign Policy clearly explains.
