Bengaluru woman held by CCB Police for selling drugs; Nigerian associate absconding
Bengaluru: In a major operation on drug trafficking, the anti-narcotics wing of the Bengaluru Central Crime Branch (CCB) Police arrested a 44-year-old woman who was allegedly hand-in-glove with a Nigerian man in supplying drugs.
The arrested is identified as NK Subhashini, who lives in Puttanna Layout situated near Marasandra on Bagalur Main Road. The police are looking for the Nigerian, who is absconding, as per a report by the Times of India.
The duo was accused of providing MDMA to college students, businessmen and IT-BT professionals in North-east Bengaluru.
Sub-inspector Keshavamurthy K is said to have led the investigation on Saturday, February 21, after receiving information on the sale of drugs. The team that raided Subhashini’s residence seized approximately 3,000 pills, a mobile phone, a portable weighing machine and zip-lock covers.
Subhashini is learned to have confessed during police interrogation that she knew Lutaya Patrick, the Nigerian for four years. She reportedly added that Patrick was her source of drugs, which he got either from Nigeria or from other Nigerians in Bengaluru.
The CCB team has said that the duo is learned to have been selling each pill for Rs 5,000 to Rs 6,000 and used the gains from the illegal trade to live a lavish life. They had also developed a local customer network, which included students, businessmen and techies.
A case has been registered under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act at Bagalur Police Station and further investigation is underway.
