Fake drug case against beauty parlour owner: police probing son's role
The investigation into the fake drug case involving beauty parlour owner Sheela Sunny from Chalakudy has now turned towards her son Sangeeth. The police have intensified their probe into his possible involvement after he failed to respond to two summons for questioning.
The investigation team also filed a report in court naming Livia Jose, sister of Sheela's daughter-in-law, as a co-accused in the case. Livia was implicated based on a statement by Narayana Das, who was recently arrested in the case. He revealed that the fake LSD stamps were placed in Sheela Sunny's scooter by Livia.
Following this revelation, Livia was officially made an accused in the case. She is currently abroad, and efforts are under way to locate and bring her back to face the investigation.

Another drug haul linked to hotel management student
The State Task Force (STF) of the Telangana Excise and Prohibition Department, on Tuesday (June 3), seized 50 ecstasy pills in connection with an ongoing case in DD Colony of Amberpet. This follows the arrest of the key accused in the case, Kanish Kevin, a student from Delhi enrolled at the Institute of Hotel Management in Hyderabad on May 30. During a search, officials recovered 113 LSD blots and 16 grams of OG Kush, a high-potency strain of cannabis from his possession. Kevin was arrested and handed over to the Kacheguda Excise Station. The accused was subsequently produced before the court and remanded to judicial custody. In a fresh development, STF officials discovered that a drug parcel addressed to Kevin, ordered before his arrest, had recently arrived. The officials searched Kevin's room, where they found the parcel containing 50 ecstasy pills concealed inside a tin of dog food. The drugs had been hidden under the food granules and wrapped in brown packaging material. Three others, including M. Deepak Kumar, Mohammed Siraj, and Jethin, were also earlier booked and efforts are underway to trace them.

Elon Musk breaks silence on article claiming he takes drugs, says: I tried ...
Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk has responded to a New York Times report published last week that alleged his use of illicit drugs. The billionaire businessman spent the weekend refuting these claims, going so far as to assert the newspaper was "lying their a** off." The NYT article had claimed Musk has been using illicit drugs. This report subsequently led to speculation regarding his appearance during what was described as the tech billionaire's "farewell" press conference at the Oval Office, where some observers thought he looked "spaced out." Previously, multiple reports have alleged that the world's richest man used substances including ketamine, Ecstasy, psychedelic mushrooms, Adderall, cocaine and LSD. In 2018, Musk also smoked cannabis on Joe Rogan's podcast, which was filmed in California, where recreational use is legal. Check out Musk's reply here What Elon Musk said about his drug usage Replying to the comment section of a post shared on social media platform X (earlier Twitter), Musk wrote: 'Also, to be clear, I am NOT taking drugs! The New York Times was lying their ass off. I tried *prescription* ketamine a few years ago and said so on 𝕏, so this not even news. It helps for getting out of dark mental holes, but haven't taken it since then.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like ¡Trading con IA en Chile ayuda a usuarios a obtener ganancias potenciales!

They interviewed a dozen people who have known or worked with him, and saw private text messages, legal documents and photographic evidence.' 'Elon Musk is just lashing out because he doesn't like our article. We provided Musk with multiple opportunities to reply or rebut this reporting before publication, and he declined, opting instead to try to distract with a social post and no evidence,' the publication further added. Musk's reply came after an X account posted this: 'Given Elon Musk's business track record, any drugs he's taking should be put in the public's drinking water.' Responding to the tech billionaire's comment, the X user wrote: 'Nothing wrong with being a little horsey every once in a while.' iQoo Z10 Review: 7300mAh battery packed in a slim design AI Masterclass for Students.

NCB deports drug smuggling syndicate kingpin from Malaysia in transnational drug trafficking case
New Delhi [India], May 29 (ANI): In a major breakthrough, the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) has secured the deportation of a kingpin behind the trans-national drug trafficking syndicate from Malaysia on May 27, as part of a closely coordinated international operation involving both domestic and foreign law enforcement agencies (LEAs). According to an official statement, the deported accused had been absconding for a long time and was operating a major transnational cocaine smuggling syndicate from Thailand. The NCB confirmed the operation through its official handle, stating, 'In a closely coordinated international operation involving both domestic and foreign LEAs, NCB got a key drug syndicate kingpin deported from Malaysia on 27.05.2025. This absconding accused was operating a major transnational cocaine smuggling syndicate from Thailand. The investigation began with the seizure of approximately 200 grams of cocaine concealed inside a projector in a parcel sent from Mumbai to Australia through a DHL courier on January 21, according to an official release. Following a bottom-to-top investigative approach, NCB subsequently recovered 11.540 kg of cocaine, 4.9 kg of cannabis, and 5.5 kg of cannabis-based gummies from the residence of a syndicate member in Navi Mumbai. The investigation disclosed a well-oiled trans-national syndicate involved in the trafficking of Cocaine from the USA to India and is further distribution within India and outside. It further revealed the involvement of the Clearing House Agent (CHA) and hawala operators. A total of eight persons have been arrested so far, and the kingpin, who had been absconding since 2021 after being named in an NCB case involving LSD trafficking, was initially traced to Thailand and later located in Malaysia. A Red Notice was issued by the NCB, which ultimately led to his deportation to India. The investigation in this case has already revealed that the syndicate was operating for at least one year, and multiple consignments of cocaine to air cargo were received at Mumbai during this period. Interrogation of the kingpin brought from Malaysia is likely to reveal more details of his operations, including the source of drugs in the USA. Financial investigation in the case has already led to the identification of assets, including properties and bank accounts in Thailand. Efforts are on for the attachment of these properties. Earlier this month, NCB was successful in the deportation of an accused from the UAE who was involved in a drug trafficking case in Bengaluru. These operations exemplify NCB's relentless approach to nab members of transnational drug syndicates involved in drug trafficking. (ANI)
