The Customs at the Kempegowda International Airport in Bengaluru, India on Wednesday September 30, detected 400gm of Methaqualone worth Rs 20 lakh (over $27,000) in a parcel.
The
consignment, concealed in a leather bag, was addressed to an alleged Nigerian
drug kingpin, who was already arrested in a recent case involving 1.98 kg
Ecstasy pills.
The Nigerian
suspect identified as Sylvester Henry Owen, 41, was arrested at his rental home
near Hommadevanahalli, near Bannerghatta Road, on Thursday, September 10 and
produced before a magistrate the next day and remanded in judicial custody.
The crackdown
started a month ago when the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) arrested three
people, including a woman Anikha, for allegedly supplying drugs to Kannada film
actors and singers.
Following
this, the Bengaluru police too launched a drive and arrested at least 15
people, including film actresses Ragini Dwivedi and Sanjjanaa Galrani, some
Nigerian drug peddlers, and rave party organisers.
