A passenger was nabbed while attempting to smuggle 8.9kg of marijuana through Dubai International Airport.
The passenger was travelling from an Asian country and was undergoing a security check when officials thought that the bag had unusual density.
Dubai Customs officers then manually searched the passenger who looked confused. The search yielded a powder, which the accused claimed was henna powder.
The 8.9kg marijuana powder was seized and handed over to General Directorate of Anti-Narcotics at Dubai Police.
