In a significant operation, a Nigerian national was arrested with 200 grams of cocaine, estimated to be worth Rs 2 crore, in the Malad area of Mumbai. The arrest was confirmed by a police official on Sunday.

The suspect was apprehended by the Worli unit of the Anti Narcotics Cell on Marve Road amid allegations of scouting for drug customers. Despite attempting to flee, he was swiftly captured by the authorities.

A search of his vehicle not only led to the seizure of the cocaine but also three mobile phones and the car itself. The operation has prompted further investigation into the suspect's involvement in drug peddling, particularly given his illegal residency in India and previous involvement in NDPS cases.
