Surabaya. A Malaysian man has been arrested in Indonesia for attempting to smuggle 1.4 kilograms of heroin into the country, a customs official said on Wednesday.
Ganesan Sanmugam, 24, was arrested on Friday shortly after landing in Surabaya city on a flight from Malaysia with heroin worth an estimated 2.1 billion rupiah ($245,700) in his luggage, officials said.
“The heroin package was wrapped with aluminium foil and hidden inside the suitcase pocket,” customs official Buhari Sirait told reporters.
Sanmugam admitted he was carrying the drugs but claimed he was only a courier, the official said.
He could face the death penalty if convicted.
