Habitual drug peddler nabbed in Bengaluru

Bengaluru: The Chamarajpet police arrested a 28-year-old habitual offender in the city for possession and sale of banned narcotic substances under the NDPS Act.

The suspect, Syed Mubarak alias Mubbu bin Syed Akkal, from Chamarajpet, is a listed 'A' category rowdy-sheeter involved in collecting, transporting, and selling marijuana.

The police said that despite multiple arrests in cases registered at the Chamarajpet, Annapoorneshwarinagar, and Yelahanka stations, Mubarak continued drug trafficking after being released on bail.

Officials noted that his fearless involvement in the illicit trade made it difficult to control his activities through ordinary legal measures.

On August 29, the Bengaluru City Police Commissioner issued a warrant. Mubarak was arrested and remanded to Bellary Jail.
