Drug Haul in Bengaluru: MDMA Worth Rs 24 Crore Seized from Nigerian Woman Operating Hotel
In a major drug bust in Bengaluru, authorities have seized a whopping Rs 24 crore worth of MDMA, one of the most dangerous recreational drugs, from a Nigerian woman involved in trafficking. The woman, who was operating a hotel in the city, was arrested after a well-coordinated operation by the Bengaluru police.
The MDMA haul is being hailed as one of the largest in the region, with the drugs hidden in various locations within the hotel. Police have linked the woman to a larger drug syndicate that has been allegedly smuggling narcotics into the city for months. This bust highlights the increasing prevalence of drug trafficking in metropolitan areas and the growing role of international networks in the city's drug trade.
Authorities have praised the operation for its success and are continuing to investigate the extent of the syndicate's operations, as well as the potential buyers and distributors involved. The seizure of such a large quantity of MDMA is expected to have a significant impact on curbing drug availability in Bengaluru, which has seen a rise in substance abuse issues in recent years.
