Two Iranians among four held with drugs valued at Rs 1 crore in Bengaluru
Bengaluru, Sep 28: Four people, including two "overstaying" Iranians, have been arrested with drugs, including hydroponic weeds, valued at over Rs one crore, in the city, police said on Tuesday.
Acting on a tip-off, police intercepted a car on Sunday afternoon and seized hydroponic weeds worth Rs one crore, 130 hydro marijuana plants and "LSD Paper".
"They were looking for clients and their target were school and college students as well", a police official said.
The gang had ordered the seeds of the weed through the dark web. They had taken a house on rent in Bidadi on the city outskirts, where they were growing the weed.
Police sources said the Iran nationals were booked twice earlier and this was their third case. They were staying here despite their visas having expired, police said.

Niqab incident: Nitish Kumar perhaps revealing his true colours, says J-K CM
Srinagar (PTI): Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Wednesday criticised his Bihar counterpart over the niqab incident and said that Nitish Kumar might be slowly revealing his true nature.
"Nitish Kumar, who was once considered a secular leader, may be slowly showing his true colours," Abdullah told reporters here on the sidelines of a function.
Abdullah said Kumar removing the face veil of a Muslim woman doctor was wrong and cannot be justified by any means.
"We have seen this kind of incident here several years ago. Have you forgotten how Mehbooba Mufti removed the burqa of a legitimate voter inside a polling station? That act was wrong, and this act (of Kumar) is also wrong.
"If the (Bihar) chief minister did not want to hand over the order to her (Muslim woman), they could have kept her aside. However, to humiliate her like this is totally wrong," the Jammu and Kashmir chief minister said.
Kumar stirred a huge controversy after he removed the face veil of a Muslim woman at a function earlier this week.
