The accused was apprehended after the ANC sleuths laid a trap after getting intelligence inputs, he said.
"Initial investigation revealed that she had come to Goa from Bengaluru along with the contraband for its sale and distribution," Kaushal said.
The woman had arrived in India on a student visa for an academic course in the University of Lucknow in Uttar Pradesh. However, she never went to the campus, but instead worked in Bengaluru, the official said.
