Rajasthan's Breaking Bad: Inspired By Netflix Show, How 2 Science Teachers Ran MD Lab In Flat
Last Updated: Rajasthan's Breaking Bad: The total market value of 5 kg of Mephedrone or MD produced at the lab in the flat is estimated at Rs 15 crore The Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) recently busted a drugs manufacturing laboratory being operated from a residential society in Rajasthan's Sri Ganganagar district. The two science teachers allegedly operating it, have been arrested, the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) said. They claimed they were inspired by popular Netflix show Breaking Bad. The federal agency, in a statement, said the laboratory was manufacturing Mephedrone (4-Methylmethcathinone), also known as MD. Searches at a flat in Dream Homes Apartments, Ridhi Sindhi Enclave, in the district led to the seizure of 780 gms of the drug, it said. According to narcotics experts, MD is a synthetic stimulant drug in the cathinone family, which gives a feeling of euphoria immediately after consumption, but is addictive and continuous use causes severe psychological and health conditions. The arrested duo The NCB arrested two — Indrajeet Vishnoi, 35, physics teacher at a private school and coaching centre till last year and a Rajasthan Administrative Services (RAS) aspirant, and Manoj Bhargav, 25, a science teacher at the Government Senior Secondary School in Muklawa, Sri Ganganagar. NCB officials said the duo had taken the flat on rent about two months ago, and they had sourced the chemicals and equipment from Delhi. What was found in the flat? Drugs worth Rs 15 crore sold in over 2 months Of the 5 kg made, 4.22 kg had already been sold. The NCB recovered 780 grams during the raid. This batch alone has a market value of Rs 2.34 crore. The total market value of all 5 kg produced is estimated at Rs 15 crore. How harmful is mephedrone? Mephedrone, also known as 4-methylmethcathinone (4-MMC), is a synthetic stimulant drug that is chemically similar to cathinone, a substance found in the khat plant. It's often classified as a 'designer drug' and was once part of the group known as 'bath salts'. It's typically found in the form of a white powder or crystals, and it can be swallowed, snorted, injected, or even bummed (rectal use). It stimulates the central nervous system and produces effects similar to MDMA (ecstasy), amphetamines, and cocaine. Short-term side effects include nausea and vomiting, anxiety, paranoia, or panic attacks, insomnia, agitation or aggression, headaches, loss of appetite. More serious/long-term risks include heart problems, seizures, risk of addiction and tolerance, mental health issues, damage to the nose or veins, hyperthermia, risky behaviour. Overdose is possible and can be life-threatening. What is Breaking Bad? On Netflix, Breaking Bad follows Walter White (played by Bryan Cranston), a struggling, frustrated high school chemistry teacher from Albuquerque, New Mexico, who becomes a crime lord in the local methamphetamine drug trade, driven to provide for his family financially after being diagnosed with inoperable lung cancer.

Dharmasthala secret burials: YouTuber Sameer MD booked on charge of giving false information
Popular Kannada YouTuber Sameer MD has been booked on the charge of spreading false information through a video about the case where a former sanitation worker has claimed to have secretly buried victims of sexual assault victims at Dharmasthala in Karnataka under duress. Titled 'Who Are Serial K!llrs of Dharmasthala?', the video of 23 minutes and 52 seconds has received 3.1 million views since it was uploaded on YouTube on Saturday. According to the Dakshina Kannada police, the video was generated using artificial intelligence and included fabricated details about the burial case. The video allegedly went beyond information provided in the official complaint of the whistleblower and during the court proceedings on Friday where he recorded his statement. The police said that the video not only spread misinformation but also revealed additional content about the former sanitation worker's complainant. A case was registered against Sameer MD at the Dharmasthala police station under Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita sections 192,240,353(1)(b) on charges of wantonly giving provocation with intent to cause a riot and giving false information about an offence, among others. Back in April, a Bengaluru court served a notice on a Rs 10-crore defamation suit over his video regarding the unsolved murder of a college student that took place 14 years ago. The lawsuit was filed by representatives of Shri Kshetra Dharmasthala, D Harshendra Kumar, and Nischal D, who had alleged that Sameer had targeted the religious institution through his defamatory content. The secret burials in the forests surrounding the temple town of Dharmasthala have come to the fore following a complaint by the former sanitation worker employed at Dharmasthala. He has alleged that he was made to bury multiple bodies that had signs of sexual assault and was warned against disclosing it by his supervisors. He said he had fled Dharmasthala a decade ago, returned recently due to 'guilty consciousness', and filed a complaint.

If she had any problem, wouldn't she have discussed it with her family? What proves that whatever her friend is saying is true?" Rohit Yadav Yadav dismissed the 'love jihad' angle being associated with Radhika's killing given her alleged close association with a person named Inamul Haque."There is nothing like a love jihad angle to this.
