In a huge drug haul involving ‘Indian Heisenberg’, a Telangana-based teacher was recently held at a Bengaluru airport with heroin worth Rs 99 crores. The 52-year-old teacher’s name has not been reported by any prominent news source. According to reports, the accused was arrested with 14 kg of heroin which is worth Rs 99 crores. The part-teacher, part-drug smuggler, had come to India from Adis Ababa, Ethiopia.
Based on tip-off received, the DRI (Directorate of Revenue Intelligence) officials were waiting for the accused man at the airport. As soon as the man landed, the DRI officials took him into custody. During luggage inspection, the police found that the accused had stuffed drug packets in false bottom of his trolley bags. The man had hidden the used black tape to conceal the airport security scanners.
During the preliminary questioning, the Telangana-based accused told the authorities that he is a teacher who conducts tuitions for children. A few months back, the accused had spotted an ad online which sought people who are willing to travel in and out of India.
The man struck a deal and turned into a drug mule. A TOI report stated that gangs have been on lookout for Indians to turn into mules as African citizens continue to be suspects by the anti-drugs agencies for such crimes.
