The seized cocaine - 250 gm of it - is said to be of the purest form ever seized in the city, and was wrapped in chocolate wrappers. The drug was sealed in five layers of polythene.
A preliminary probe revealed that the two arrested Nigerian nationals were sex maniacs.

The drugs were brought to the city for sale during New Year celebrations.”
