An Ugandan woman has been arrested in Bengaluru, India, in connection with a recent drug seizure. The police stated that she was previously charged with drug trafficking in the city and had remained in India after her visa expired. The arrest follows the discovery of 70 grams of synthetic drugs, valued at approximately ₹4 lakh, near Varigapalle two weeks ago. The accused is now in custody for further investigation.
The woman is believed to have been involved in the illegal drug trade, with authorities linking her to the recent seizure. Police officials confirmed that she had a history of drug-related offenses in Bengaluru before overstaying her visa. The case is being examined to determine the extent of her involvement in the trafficking network.
The incident highlights ongoing efforts by Indian law enforcement to combat drug smuggling, particularly in regions bordering Karnataka. Authorities are reviewing the case to assess any potential links to larger criminal networks. The arrest underscores the challenges faced in tracking and apprehending individuals engaged in cross-border drug activities.
