PANAJI
A Tanzanian national has been arrested for allegedly possessing narcotics worth Rs 10 lakh from the coastal Anjuna.
The 38-year-old, identified as Mwanakombo Fadhili Said, was arrested by the Anti Narcotics Cell on Friday.
Deputy Superintendent of Police Nerlon Albuquerque said the foreign national was caught red-handed with 50 grams of Heroin, 20 gms of MDMA and 30 gms Ecstasy powder, all valued at Rs 10 lakh.
The ANC is probing into Said's visa and place of stay, besides collecting evidence to know the source of drugs. The alleged peddler will be produced before the court for police custody. The arrest comes at a time when Goa is gearing up for tourist season and has registered a string of drug raids in the last few weeks.
