Bengaluru cops nab Nigerian woman trying to peddle 5.3kg MDMA worth Rs 10.5 crore
Bengaluru: In one of the biggest drug busts in recent times, a 25-year-old Nigerian was arrested by Central Crime Branch (CCB) sleuths when she was trying to sell MDMA crystals weighing over 5.3kg, and valued at around Rs 10.5 crore, near Rajanukunte. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The accused has been identified as Akinwunmi Princess Ifeoluwa, alias Princess, a resident of Uttam Nagar in Nawada, New Delhi. CCB's anti-narcotics wing (ANW) police inspector Rakshith AK got a tip-off around noon on June 10 about a foreign national trying to sell drugs in Tarahunase village, 6km from Rajanukunte. Rakshith alerted his seniors, including assistant commissioner of police Mahananda HK, who formed a special team to nab the peddler. When cops rushed to Tarahunase village, they found a woman with a bag seemingly waiting for someone. After confirming she was the peddler flagged by the informant, police detained her around 4pm. When police asked her to show her bag, she didn't cooperate initially. Eventually, she confessed she had come to New Delhi in Oct 2021 using a student visa. She claimed she wanted to get admission at a private deemed-to-be university, but when she didn't get a proper response from the college, she didn't enrol and started working as a hairdresser and pedicurist in the national capital. As she was unable to earn enough to lead a lavish life, she went into the drug peddling business. She allegedly met another Nigerian woman named Asa, who instructed her to take drugs to Bengaluru by bus and hand them over to someone. Accordingly, Princess packed the MDMA crystal in packets and reached Bengaluru on June 10. While she was waiting for Asa's message about the man to whom she was supposed to hand over the drugs, she was caught by cops. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Police found 5,325 grams of MDMA crystals and an iPhone on her. A case has been registered under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985, and the Foreigners Act, 1946, for overstaying. Further investigation is on to nab Asa and the others involved in the matter.

ED raids 24 Raj & Guj locations in 2,700 crore Nexa Evergreen scam
Jaipur/Jhunjhunu: The Enforcement Directorate (ED) conducted massive raids across Rajasthan and Gujarat on Thursday in connection with an alleged Rs 2,700 crore money laundering scheme linked to the Nexa Evergreen project. The operation, spanning 24 locations, targeted what authorities describe as a massive real estate fraud that affected approximately 62,000 investors. Till the evening ED has seized almost Rs 2 crores and 3 lakhs and have freezed around 10 bank accounts. The raids, supported by CRPF and local police, were carried out in multiple cities including Sikar, Jaipur, Jodhpur and Jhunjhunu in Rajasthan and Ahmedabad in Gujarat. The ED's investigation stems from multiple FIRs filed with the Rajasthan Police regarding the fraudulent scheme. According to ED officials, the company, registered in Ahmedabad in April 2021, allegedly lured investors with promises of affordable housing and land plots in Gujarat's Dholera Smart City Project. The primary accused, Subhash and Ranveer Bijarniya from Panlawa in Sikar district, specifically targeted govt employees, including police and armed forces personnel, promising high returns on investments. "While some initial investors received property possession, the scheme was later exposed as fraudulent, leaving most investors without recourse," said a senior ED officer in Jaipur. The agency has seized incriminating documents, bank account details, electronic devices and property papers during the raids. "So far we have seized Rs 2 crores and 3 lakhs and have also freezed around 10 bank accounts," said an officer. The scam, which affected around 62,000 people, has already led to hundreds of FIRs across different districts and multiple protests by victims. Both main accused, Ranveer and Subhash Bijarnia, were previously arrested in connection with the case. The ED's investigation continues, with officials stating this is their first major operation since registering the case in early 2024. The agency also raided the premises of Salim Khan, another accused who operated a Nexa Evergreen office in Jhunjhunu's KK Colony, allegedly to attract more investors to the scheme. While the ED has confirmed seizing significant evidence, specific details of the recoveries are yet to be disclosed as the investigation remains ongoing.
