Two people arrested for drug peddling in Hyderabad

Hyderabad: Two people were arrested for possessing 50 grams of MDMA worth Rs 5,50,000 in Hyderabad on Tuesday, October 1. Police said the orders were made through social media platforms.

The accused have been identified as Mohammed Osman, 33, a resident of Bandlaguda and Rahul, 23, a native of Kerala and resident of Bengaluru. Their supplier, Ashwin Das Ramanth, based in Bahrain, is absconding.

Osman, a school dropout, worked at a store in Hyderabad up until last year. Rahul worked in a Bengaluru cafe for five months. During his time in the cafe, he met Ashwin.

After losing his job, Osman took up drug peddling. He came into contact with Ashwin through Instagram, placed orders via WhatsApp, and collected drugs from Rahul.

All transactions were done through UPI payment.

On Ashwin’s instructions, the drugs were delivered in Hyderabad, which were collected by Rahul and handed over to Osman. The lattern would sell the MDMA at Rs 8,000-10,000 per gram to customers.

Based on a tip-off, the Hyderabad Narcotics Enforcement Wing (HNEW), in coordination with the Chaderghat police, arrested Rahul and Osman. They have been booked under sections 8(c), r/w. 22(c), 27(A), 27(B), 29 of NDPS Act 1985.

Image
The Karnataka High Court dismissed chief minister Siddaramaiah’s petition on Tuesday, September 24, challenging Governor Thaawarchand Gehlot’s approval for an investigation into the Mysuru Urban Development Authority (MUDA) site allotment case. In a single judge bench, Justice M Nagaprasanna stated that an investigation was necessary and affirmed the governor’s authority to make an independent decision. The court found no evidence of the Governor’s non-application of mind in the matter. The chief minister challenged the approval given by the Governor for an investigation against him in the alleged irregularities in the allotment of 14 sites to his wife by the MUDA in a prime locality. “The facts narrated in the petition would undoubtedly require investigation, in the teeth of the fact that the beneficiary of all these acts is not anybody outside but the family of the petitioner. The petition stands dismissed,” Justice Nagaprasanna ruled, adding, “interim order of any kind subsistin...

Bengaluru: Bus conductor fails to return Rs 1; court orders BMTC to pay Rs 3K as compensation

Image
The Bangalore Metropolitan Transport Corporation (BMTC) was recently ordered to pay a man Rs 2,000 in compensation after he was denied Rs 1 change for a bus ride by the Bengaluru Urban District Consumer Dispute Redressal Commission. According to several media reports, in 2019, a man named Ramesh Naik went on a BMTC bus from Shantinagar to Majestic bus depot, during which the conductor issued a ticket for Rs 29. The complainant paid Rs 30 and was not given the change. Keeping up the fight, Naik then complained about the conductor to BMTC’s high authorities. To his surprise, the authorities made fun of him and drove him away. Unhappy with this, he filed a complaint with the local consumer court, asking Rs 15,000 in compensation. The court has now ordered the Bangalore Metropolitan Transport Corporation (BMTC) to pay the guy Rs 2,000 in compensation. The court also ordered BMTC to pay Rs 1,000 towards the complainant’s legal expenses. “It is the customer’s right to receive the balan...
