Customs officers at Indira Gandhi International Airport arrested two passengers who arrived from Bangkok on 30 July 2026 after recovering 17 vacuum-sealed packets containing a green-coloured substance suspected to be hydroponic cannabis, 18.15 kg in total. The two were intercepted after crossing the customs green channel on the basis of Advance Passenger Information System profiling; X-ray screening of their baggage showed suspicious images that led to a detailed examination. Officials said the material had been concealed inside the baggage to evade detection.
