Two arrested in Bengaluru for peddling drugs near schools
BENGALURU: Two Bangladesh nationals were arrested for allegedly peddling drugs near schools in Begur police limits.
The arrested have been identified as Jani Khan (26), resident of Vishwapriya Layout and Raja Khan (25) a resident of Koramangala.
Both the accused are said to be natives of Bangladesh. Police have seized 40 Yaba tablets (a combination of methamphetamine and caffeine) of four grams each and three mobile phones. Police have also seized their identity cards like Aadhaar and PAN cards.
Police officers said they were tipped off about people selling drugs near government high school in Begur. "Based on that information, we detained the accused and during the interrogation they confessed about it," an official said.
Yaba is a mix of methamphetamine and caffeine and is referred to as a drug of madness in the Asian continent and is called “Nazi speed” in the western part of the world.
It is a banned drug which leads to rapid heart rate, increased blood pressure, and damage to the small blood vessels in the brain that can lead to stroke.
