Officers from the Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) arrested a Nigerian national who was a key member of a drug trafficking cartel operating from Goa, India, the agency said in its statement. Per the agency's statement, they had, earlier this year, seized 4.1 kg of cocaine from Mumbai International Airport and arrested a Thai national for attempting to smuggle drugs into India for the said syndicate. 

"In a major success in knocking down the drug syndicates operating in the country, DRI officers nabbed one Nigerian national who was operating a drug trafficking cartel from Goa, India," the DRI statement read.
