Ambergris — banned whale vomit — worth Rs 2.98 crore seized in Rural Ahmedabad, two arrested
The Special Operations Group (SOG) of the Ahmedabad Rural Police on Sunday arrested two men with 2.976 kg of illicit sperm whale vomit (ambergris), police said. Based on a tip-off, the Ahmedabad Rural SOG conducted a raid near the Sarkhej-Sanand Highway, close to Gibpura village that falls under Sanand police station. During the operation, two suspects who were allegedly in possession of ambergris were apprehended. The seized quantity of ambergris weighed 2.976 kg, with an estimated international value of Rs 2.98 crore. 'Two mobile phones worth Rs 2,000 and Rs 700 in cash were also seized,' said Superintendent of Police, Ahmedabad Rural, Om Prakash Jat. The arrested persons include Yogesh Tulsi Makwana (30) from Bhavnagar and Pantukumaar Bharatbhai Patel (37), a resident of Sabarmati, Ahmedabad. 'During questioning, the arrested accused revealed that the ambergris was provided to them by one Bharat Vallabh Sarvaiya, a resident of Bhavnagar, and that they were searching for potential buyers due to its high-market value. The seized ambergris has been verified by the Range Forest Officer and FSL (Forensic Science Laboratory) experts, and the accused have been handed over to the Forest Department, Sanand, for legal action under the Wildlife (Protection) Act,' said the Ahmedabad Rural Police. Trade of ambergris is banned in India as the sperm whale is a schedule 1 species under Wildlife Protection Act, 1972, and Convention of International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES). With this latest seizure, a total of 7.88 kg of ambergris has been seized in three cases in Ahmedabad district in the last three-and-a-half months. The previous two seizures were made by the Crime Branch of Ahmedabad City Police with 2 kg of ambergris seized on August 6, and 2.904 kg confiscated on April 30. Ambergris, which means gray amber in French, is a waxy substance that originates from the digestive system of the protected sperm whales. Traditionally, it is used to produce perfumes that have notes of musk.

Digital arrest scam mastermind held by Goa cops
Agency: PTI Last Updated: Panaji, Aug 17 (PTI) The Goa Cyber Crime Police have arrested the alleged mastermind behind a Rs 1 crore 'digital arrest" scam, upon his arrival at Delhi airport from Singapore, an officer said on Sunday. He was taken into custody on August 15 and remanded to five days of police custody, according to Superintendent of Police (Cyber Crime) Rahul Gupta. The accused Anil Tripathi, a resident of Marina Bay Financial Centre in Singapore, is the seventh person arrested in connection with the case registered in December 2024 at Marna, Siolim (North Goa), said Gupta. The scam involved a fraudster impersonating a Delhi Crime Branch officer on WhatsApp and coercing a woman into believing she was involved in a police case. The accused allegedly sent forged Supreme Court documents and forced the victim to transfer Rs 1 crore through multiple transactions into three different bank accounts, police said. 'Tripathi was tracked through technical and financial analysis, as well as the interrogation of previously arrested suspects. A Look Out Circular had been issued, leading to his detention at Delhi airport and subsequent transit to Goa," said Gupta. Investigators claimed that Tripathi is a repeat offender. He was previously arrested in Singapore for a fake tech support scam amounting to USD 64,000, in which he funnelled about USD 15,000 into his Indian bank accounts from a senior Singaporean citizen. The current case is registered under Sections 318, 319(2), and 336(3) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, along with Section 66-D of the Information Technology Act.
