A woman’s search for her purse which she left behind in an auto rickshaw led to the arrest of a Nigerian woman involved in drug distribution at Ulwe in Navi Mumbai. The police have seized cocaine and mephedrone from the woman who tried to flee at the sight of police.
Moments after alighting from an auto rickshaw on Saturday night, the 40-year-old woman realised that she had left behind her purse in the vehicle. As she booked the ride on Uber, she immediately contacted the auto driver and enquired about the purse. The auto driver replied that he had just picked up a passenger, an African national, and would return to the spot where he had dropped her. When the auto driver returned, the woman who lost her purse enquired with the African national. The passenger reacted rudely, alighted from the auto and began walking away.
