The woman has a prior record of a fraud case registered at Gandhi Nagar police station, Bhopal.The arrested Nigerian national, identified as 34-year-old Orachor Onyeka, is already facing cases under the Foreigners Act and fraud sections at DLF Phase-1 police station in Delhi.Onyeka has a sprawling drug distribution network across Bhopal, Delhi, and other Indian cities.Police sources revealed that he imports MDMA from foreign countries and has been operating in India for the past seven years. He contacted his clients through WhatsApp, Telegram, and other online platforms. He supplied MDMA to the nabbed drug peddlers Yasin and Shahwar.Cops believe that he might be manufacturing the chemical drugs at his hideout.The Crime Branch officials confirmed that the arrested Thai woman worked at multiple spa centres in Bhopal and Delhi.This has brought the city's spa establishments under police scrutiny to ascertain if they were used as drug distribution hubs. Officials hinted that more names might surface during the ongoing investigation.Additional DCP (Crime Branch) Shailendra Singh Chouhan said that police recovered Indian SIM cards from the nabbed Nigerian man and Thai woman.They were issued on a local Indian individual's identity. Police are investigating the numbers and trying to contact the person on whose documents these SIM cards were issued.If the accused fraudulently used the documents to get the SIM cards, a separate FIR will be registered against them.Police Commissioner Harinarayanchari Mishra said, Both foreign nationals are being interrogated further. The Nigerian was primarily operating through Delhi, while the Thai woman was active in both Delhi and Bhopal. More revelations are expected as the investigation progresses.The post <a href="http://www.lindaikejisblog.com/2025/8/nigerian-man-and-thai-woman-arrested-with-drugs-in-india-2.html">Nigerian man and Thai woman arrested with drugs in India</a> appeared first on <a href="https://www.lindaikejisblog.com">Linda Ikeji Blog</a>.
