"We have detained Brazilian national Pinto Karlaines for smuggling 450 grams of cocaine from Sao Paulo," said an NCB official.
On a tip-off, NCB officials intercepted Pinto at the Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport here. Her medical examination at the government-run J J Hospital revealed that she was carrying eight capsules in her stomach.
"The doctors flushed out the capsules and she is presently under medical observation," said the official, adding that she will be arrested after being discharged from the hospital.
