Doha, Qatar: Airport authorities apprehended a passenger at Hamad International Airport who was attempting to smuggle banned substances into Qatar. The incident involved the discovery of 2,100 Lyrica pills, a narcotic substance, which were cleverly concealed within the cavities of a food container.

Qatar Customs officials acted on a customs inspector's suspicion regarding a bag belonging to one of the arriving passengers, leading to a thorough inspection. A video shared on social media captured the moment officials emptied the food pot, revealing the illicit pills wrapped in foil hidden among fresh food items.
