Mangaluru: In a tragic incident that occurred at midnight in the outskirts of the city, a car rammed into a tree at Kulai, resulting in the death of a woman passenger, leaving three others with grievous injuries on Wednesday.

The four siblings were preparing to attend a wedding program at Chikmagalur on Thursday, and had gone into the town on Wednesday. While returning to Krishnapura Chokkabettu with a parcel of food, their car crashed into a tree at Kulai. Reportedly, Raahil Shameem, who was driving the car had swerved the car at the last moment in a bid to escape collision with an oncoming car and lost control of the vehicle, which led to the accident.

Mumbai (PTI): Police have arrested a man and seized over 500 grams of heroin worth Rs 2.54 crore in the illicit market from him in Mumbai, officials said on Friday.

The police's Anti-Narcotics Cell (ANC) made the drug seizure in Santacruz in the western suburbs. The operation was conducted by the Kandivali unit of the ANC on Thursday as part of a special crackdown against drug trafficking in the area, they said.

Acting on specific inputs, an ANC team conducted a raid in Santacruz (East) and intercepted a man. During a search, the team recovered 508 grams of high-grade heroin from his possession, an official said.

The seized contraband, a highly addictive, opioid drug derived from morphine, is estimated to be worth Rs 2.54 crore in the international market, he informed.

Following the seizure, a case was registered against the man under relevant sections of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act, 1985, and he was formally placed under arrest in the early hours of Friday.

The police are currently investigating the source of the drug and trying to identify the intended recipients of the consignment, he said.
