Muscat A daring suicidal attempt to allegedly smuggle narcotics into Oman has been foiled by the Royal Oman Police (ROP) at Muscat International Airport.
According to a ROP press release Monday, a Pakistani national appeared uncomfortable on his arrival at the airport from an Asian country.
Not satisfied with his reply when the police questioned him, he was arrested.
The police did not find anything objectionable in his bags or on his person but he was taken to the ROP hospital in Qurum where an X-ray revealed 134 capsules of narcotics, police said.
This modus operandi of swallowing capsules filled with drugs is becoming common and police have increased vigilance against this method.
