The US citizen said he received a parcel of cocaine sent from the country of Ecuador. Which he had to deliver to a Delhi resident who was supposed to deliver the parcel to the concerts held in Delhi and surrounding areas.

This amount of cocaine is estimated to cost around Rs 5 crore. The US and Nigerians have been detained under the provisions of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act.

Formerly a US citizen who has done such black work, he has traveled to several countries including Brazil, South Africa, Hong Kong. An American citizen wanted to set up a Hardaway Foundation in Ohio, USA for homelessness. For this purpose he used to travel on the pretext of raising funds.

Cocaine, which is largely from South American countries, is largely being transported to other parts of the world by hiding it in bags or goods, or by smugglers.
