The Mumbai Police have busted a major drug racket and seized over 187 kilograms of mephedrone worth ₹ 382 crore in Karnataka's Mysuru, reported PTI, quoting a top official on Monday. The Mumbai Police have also arrested four persons after the raid. Earlier in April, the Mumbai Police began their investigation following a man was arrested with 52 grams of mephedrone in Sakinaka in western Mumbai. During the interrogation, names of three more people came up and they were arrested too. The police seized 4.53 kilogram mephedrone worth ₹ 8 crore from them. As the investigation proceeded, Salim Imtiyaaz Sheikh alias Salim Landga (45) was arrested from Bandra Reclamation on 25 July, PTI quoted Deputy Commissioner of Police (Zone 10) Datta Nalawade as saying. "He led police to a structure along Ring Road in Mysuru, which looked like a hotel and garage from the front side. However, on entering it, we found a mephedrone manufacturing unit. The contraband from here was being supplied to Mumbai and adjoining districts. In all, we have arrested eight persons and seized 192 kilograms of mephedrone worth ₹ 390 crore," PTI quoted the DCP as saying. The report added that the recent raid was conducted in Mysuru on 26 July, and three more persons besides Sheikh were arrested. "It is a big chain and more arrests are likely. We are also verifying where they got the formula to manufacture mephedrone. The eight persons held so far, five of whom are from Mumbai, have been charged under provisions of Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act," Nalawade added. Earlier in December 2024, the Mumbai Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) seized 16 kg of mephedrone, worth more than ₹ 24 crore and arrested five accused in a smuggling operation bust.

Exclusive! Salman Khan: I miss cycling around Bandra
Salman and Salim Khan Salman Khan cycling through the streets of Bandra was once a familiar and cherished sight. The Bollywood superstar has always preferred this eco-friendly and healthy mode of travel for short distances around his home. It wasn't uncommon to spot him riding from Galaxy Apartments to Mehboob Studios. However, ever since the attack on his house last year, Salman has been under heavy security, which has brought his cycling routines in the city to a halt. When asked if he misses riding around Bandra, Salman admitted, 'Of course! I do miss it, but I still manage it at the farm (in Panvel).' 'I taught my nephews to bike at our farm' Speaking to us at the unveiling of Season 2 of the Indian Supercross Racing League (ISRL), where he serves as the brand ambassador, the Bajrangi Bhaijaan actor reminisced about learning to ride from his father, Salim Khan – a memory that clearly holds sentimental value. It's a skill he has proudly passed on to the next generation. 'I taught my nephews Arhaan (Arbaaz Khan's son) and Nirvaan (Sohail Khan's son) to bike at our farm. They used to take turns and do wheelies at a young age. Their turns were such that they would grind the footrest on the ground,' shared the actor. Salman Khan cycling around Bandra 'Zaheer Iqbal's father was one of the most amazing riders I ever saw' Salman also raised concerns about the growing trend of reckless biking stunts on Mumbai's streets, particularly those done without safety measures. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like The Top 25 Most Beautiful Women In The World Articles Vally Undo 'I have lost a friend of mine, Timmy, when this Bandra Reclamation was under construction. They used to have these races, and he won the race, but his helmet got stuck and he couldn't apply the brakes in time. This resulted in a crash, and he passed away.' He also spoke about one of the best bikers he knows, saying, 'You know (Zaheer) Iqbal's father Iqbal Ratansi, he was one of the most amazing riders I have ever seen,' he said. 'We restored Dad's first bike for him' Last year, Salman had shared a picture on Instagram, where he was seen posing with a vintage bike alongside his father. He captioned it: 'Dad's 1st bike, Triumph Tiger 100, 1956.' Getting nostalgic, he told us, 'He bought this bike when he was 16 years old for `4800.' The legendary writer later parted with the bike, but he would often recall it in conversations with Sohail Khan. Salman shared, 'Sohail sourced this bike. It was lying in a junkyard in Hyderabad. So, we got this bike from Hyderabad, sourced all the parts (that were missing) and restored it for him.' Celebrating Eid with fans from behind bulletproof glass Eid has been a special moment for Salman and his fans, who gather in huge numbers to catch a glimpse of him waving from his balcony. However, this year the moment came with a stark change as the actor was seen behind a bulletproof glass barrier. Reacting to this, he said, 'It is not because of any other reason, but we had to do something about the security because sometimes we would find some fan sleeping in the balcony. They used to climb up and sleep on the balcony, so we had to cover that place. '

The Motilal Redevelopment project will rehabilitate 3,372 eligible residential units under MHADA, 328 eligible commercial units, and 1,600 eligible slum tenements per the 1971 Slum Act. MHADA said in a statement that the agreement signing ceremony was held at MHADA headquarters in the presence of Sanjeev Jaiswal, vice president and CEO of MHADA, and Pranav Adani, director of Adani Properties Pvt. Ltd., among others. "The long-cherished dream of the residents of Motilal Nagar is now taking a concrete shape.

The residential buildings under the rehabilitation scheme will also be equipped with solar panels," MHADA said in a statement.
