Mysterious bulge of the pregnant South African woman caught in Hyderabad

An apparently seven-month pregnant woman of South Africa, who had arrived at the RGI airport in Hyderabad, was actually carrying not a baby but drugs concealed in her belly and private parts. She was caught by the sleuths of the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) who became suspicious after looking at her passport and travel pattern over the last one week.
When subjected to medical examination, it was revealed that she had swallowed the banned drugs which were packed in small polymer packets. She was immediately rushed to Osmania Hospital to extract the packets from her body.
This has been reported in timesofindia.indiatimes.com dated 31 August 2015.

The 32-year-old woman had landed from Dubai by Emirates flight and the NCB officers observed that she was walking with difficulty – she said that she was seven-month pregnant. But, once she was shifted to a hospital at the airport for preliminary examination, she admitted about the narcotics she was carrying.
By giving laxatives, the hospital staff succeeded in extracting 16 pouches of narcotics substance and it has been confirmed that there was no surgery done on her and she was under medical supervision.
Preliminary investigations from her travel pattern indicate that the origin of the drugs could be Brazil. She had landed in Dubai from Johannesburg on August 23. The next day, she took a flight to Sao Paulo City (Guarulhos International Airport) in Brazil. On August 28, she returned to Dubai from Sao Paulo and, on Sunday, she arrived at Hyderabad from Dubai.

Women in Punjab taking over the drug trade

Women in Punjab appear to be taking over the drug kingdom. A 47-year-old woman is behind bars for after a local court found her guilty of possessing 500-Kg of intoxicating powder and poppy husk. She was booked under the Narcotic Drugs & Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act and is one among 513 such women, booked under the NDPS Act in the state.
This has been reported in timesofindia.indiatimes.com dated 26 June 2015.

As per records, 173 women had been arrested and convicted last year alone. Before to that, in 2013, the number caught was only 43 – and, according to the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB), the remaining 340 are undertrials.
Most of the women (38) are lodged in Amritsar jails because the heroin is entering the state from the Pakistan border.
The number of men caught in narcotics smugglers is 11,400 locked in Punjab jails. However, Punjab is a male-dominated state where the sex ratio is 895 women per 1,000 men as per 2011 census. Hence, when 500 women are in jail for allegedly running drug rackets, it is a matter of concern.
Many of these women have wealth that run to crores of rupees.
