Police records revealed that the incident had occurred in January, when anti-narcotic officials were informed by Dubai Police and Customs authorities that the 46-year-old was being held at Dubai International Airport (DXB) with the banned drug.
A Customs inspector found the accused’s bag abnormally heavy and asked him to open it, but he refused to cooperate with the official.
