Karnataka Police Seize ₹75 Crore Worth of MDMA in Record Drug Bust

Mangaluru police arrested two South African nationals, uncovering an international drug syndicate linked to air routes between Delhi and Bengaluru.

Mangaluru police conducted Karnataka's largest-ever drug bust, seizing 37.87 kg of MDMA valued at ₹75 crore.
Two South African nationals, Bamba Fant (31) and Abigail Adonis (30), were arrested in Bengaluru's Neeladri Nagar area on March 14.
The investigation began six months ago with the arrest of a local individual, leading to the discovery of an international drug network involving air routes between Delhi and Bengaluru.
The suspects were found with MDMA concealed in trolley bags, along with mobile phones, forged passports, and ₹18,000 in cash.
Authorities are continuing to investigate the larger international network behind the drug trade, which allegedly supplied narcotics to Nigerian peddlers in the region.
