Delhi Police arrests Nigerian proclaimed offender in Chandigarh NDPS case
Delhi Police Arrest Nigerian Drug Smuggler For Overstaying In India · NDTV

A man from Nigeria was staying in India without permission.

He had been in trouble before in a city called Chandigarh for a case about drugs.

A court wanted him to come for his trial, but he did not.

So the court called him a 'proclaimed offender,' which means the police are allowed to arrest him.

Police in Delhi were checking people from other countries who stayed in India too long.

They found him in a neighbourhood called Uttam Nagar.

He was using a fake name, Daniel Marton, and fake travel papers to try to trick them.

But police in Delhi and Chandigarh worked together and found his real name, Michael Wilfred M. Bonu.

Then Chandigarh police came and took him away for his court case.

Police did not find any drugs on him when he was caught.
