Bengaluru: 20.08.2020

A unit of Bangalore Customs recently seized a parcel containing psychotropic drugs like ecstasy, MMDA and brown sugar, that reached Chamarajpet Foreign Post Office from the Netherlands. Investigation led to the arrest of a city youth who had allegedly ordered the drugs through the dark web.

With various enforcement agencies like police, Customs and Narcotics Control Bureau tightening their grip on drug smuggling, many dealers are using the postal service to transport them from overseas.

Customs sources revealed smugglers are increasingly bringing psychedelic drugs into Bengaluru through foreign post as there’s a spurt in the number of unregistered parcels without proper delivery address. “The parcel which reached Chamarajpet contained nearly 100 ecstasy pills and blocks of MDMA and brown sugar in a semipowdered form. The suspect was to receive it as soon as it arrived from Europe,” explained an investigating officer.

Following the seizure, the Customs team traced the man who had ordered the drugs. However, sleuths didn’t divulge his identity or value of drugs seized. They are trying to ascertain his local links and the source of the drug cache.

Smuggling drugs from the US and Europe via foreign post has emerged as a trend in different cities over the past few years, with Bengaluru being a key location on the drug map.

Bengaluru:20.08.2020

A 37-year-old private company employee recently lost Rs 70,000 to online fraudsters after he asked a delivery boy to cancel his order for a headphone set over a payment dispute.

Raman (name changed) from Koramangala came across an advertisement about sale of headphones on social media. He placed an order and paid Rs 1,600 digitally. “A delivery boy identifying himself as Raj visited my house. He asked me to pay the amount but I told him I had already paid online. I showed him a screenshot of the payment but he was not convinced. So I asked him to cancel the order. Raj called another person who identified himself as Sandeep to inform him about my decision. Sandeep asked me to download an app. I did so and provided information, including my bank account details. Soon after the delivery boy left, I realised Rs 70,000 had been deducted from my account,” Raman said.

Raman approached Central CEN Crime police on Monday to lodge the complaint.
