India police say they have successfully extracted 106 cocaine capsules from a woman who was allegedly trying to smuggle the drugs into the country.

The 25-year-old foreign national was arrested at the international airport in the capital Delhi on 14 May after a tip-off, police said.
She is reported to have spent the past week at a hospital where she was given laxatives to recover the cocaine.
The drugs are estimated to be worth 50 million rupees ($734,000; £547,000).

Police believe the woman ingested the capsules in Sau Paulo, Brazil, and was given instructions to deliver them to a Nigerian national in Delhi. Police are now on the lookout for the Nigerian national to whom she was supposed to deliver the drugs.
