A Bhutanese woman was detained at the Suvarnabhumi Airport in Bangkok for supposedly carrying illegal substance. She was detained on Sunday along with two other Bhutanese nationals by the Thai Authorities, when during a random check, five kilograms of an illegal substance called Ketamine, was found in the suitcase that the three were sharing.

A release from the foreign ministry says the Royal Bhutanese Embassy (RBE) Consular Service immediately sent a Senior Officer to the airport as soon as they came to learn of the incident.

Upon the intervention of the RBE, the Thai Authorities released two of the individuals.

The third individual is currently under custody of the Thai Authorities who informed Bhutanese Embassy that she will have to appear before the court. The date of the court appearance will be announced shortly.

RBE Bangkok will continue to monitor the case and also be present during the court appearance, the press release says.

The individual has claimed that she was not aware that she was carrying an illegal substance as it was given to her by a non-Bhutanese who had claimed it was incense and requested her to take it to Bangkok. He had promised to pay Thai Baht 5,000 for her help.
