A man has been arrested after he was allegedly caught attempting to smuggle a live human embryo into India.
Authorities in the country say they discovered the man, a Malaysian national, carrying the embryo in a special container hidden in his suitcase at Mumbai‘s airport last Friday.
The man reportedly admitted he had previously made several similar smuggling runs.
He then led officials to an IVF clinic in Mumbai which is now being investigated as part of a possible smuggling ring.
The clinic has denied any allegations it is involved in smuggling.
