Former air hostess Mansi Sayed and her associate Sohail Suleman Shaikh were arrested for smuggling 977 grams of mephedrone worth approximately Rs 30 lakh from Vadodara, Gujarat, to Mumbai. The Surat Crime Branch intercepted their vehicle on the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway after receiving a tip-off. Investigations revealed the drugs were to be divided into smaller packets for street sale.
