The Anti-Narcotics Wing arrested a resident of RT Nagar, originally from Assam, for allegedly procuring heroin from a Nagaland-based associate and selling it in Bengaluru at an inflated price.

The police seized 78.22 grams of heroin worth Rs 60 lakh from the suspect, according to an official statement from the Bengaluru police.

In another case, CCB officers tracked down two foreign nationals, who had overstayed their visas, from Amruthahalli and Kodigehalli. Both have been detained at the Foreigners Detention Centre in Sondekoppa, the police said.

In a separate incident, CCB officers, along with a drug controller officer, raided a medical shop warehouse in RT Nagar and found them selling three scheduled drugs without verifying prescriptions.
