A wanted drug smuggler allegedly having links with an international drug mafia has been arrested by Kerala excise sleuths in connection with a bid to smuggle narcotics worth Rs 200 crore to Malaysia through Kochi last year.
A lookout notice was issued against Ali, alias Abdul Rahman, from Chennai for his alleged role in the bid to smuggle 26.082 kg ecstasy drug to Malaysia through a private courier service here last year, the Ernakulam Excise Enforcement and Anti-narcotic Special Squad official said.
