The Delhi Police has arrested a 36-year-old Kenyan woman from Mumbai who was absconding for the last 10 months in connection with a case of drug trafficking, officials said on Sunday.
The woman, Mariam alias Mweke, was carrying a reward of Rs 50,000 on her arrest, police said.
She was on the run in a case of seizure of 7.5 Kg heroin from three drug traffickers of African origin. After jumping the bail in the case about 10 months ago, she had made her hideout in Mumbai and again indulged in drug trafficking with the help of her other associates, they said.
Mariam was arrested from Delhi along with her associates Ekene and Martin on June 25 in connection with the incident, they said.
A team was sent to Mumbai after police found that Mariam was living in a densely populated area of Naginpada in Palghar district, said Deputy Commissioner of Police (Special Cell) P S Kushwah
