Ekwelarat was reportedly arrested from Mankhurd during an NCB raid in a swampy area near the railway tracks.
The NCB said one of its officials sustained a head injury during he operation.
According to The Indian Express, the team arrested Ekwelarat from the back-end of the power house in the area and also seized the drugs, while other members of his gang managed to flee using the terrain and darkness to their advantage.
The NCB stated that in the melee, the gangsters also attacked the officials using weapons, stones and a machete, saying that one of the team members suffered a head injury while four others suffered superficial injuries.
It was learnt that the board had been gathering intelligence on the dreaded gang comprising four to five foreign nationals who dealt in drugs and catered to a large number of peddlers in Mumbai City and its suburbs.
