Cocaine drug prices increased worldwide: Cyberabad cops

[ad_1]
Hyderabad: Hyderabad: Shortage of cocaine in the international markets has spiked its price to around Rs. 15,000 to Rs. 20,000 a gram, said the police, said the top cop from the Cyberabad police here on Saturday.
The Cyberabad police arrested four people including a Nigerian who are part of a drug cartel linked to Goa and seized 303 grams of cocaine from them on Saturday. Stephen Raveendra, Cyberabad commissioner of police told reporters that the gang was selling the drug for anything between Rs. 15,000 and Rs. 20,000 a gram after bringing it from Goa.
Prices of cocaine in the international market have reportedly shot up due to a shortage of the drug in view of a worldwide crackdown on the cocaine and heroin smuggling. “Synthetic drugs are available at low price because they are produced locally. Cocaine is smuggled into the country from far-off countries and due to stringent action at all levels its price significantly increased,” said Stephen Raveendra.

Users from the affluent class use cocaine in small quantities, cops said.
According to anti-narcotic agencies in the city, Coca is any of the four cultivated plants in the family Erythroxylaceae, native to western South America. Coca is known worldwide for its psychoactive alkaloid. The plant is grown as a cash crop in the Argentine Northwest, Bolivia, Alto Rio Negro Territory in Brazil, Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, and Peru, even in areas where its cultivation is unlawful.
There are some reports that the plant is being cultivated in the south of Mexico as an alternative to smuggling its recreational product cocaine. It also plays a role in many traditional Andean cultures as well as the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta.
While Heroin is smuggled from Afghanistan to Mozambique and through various destinations like Johannesburg. It is sent later to India further it is in some cases, and otherwise destined for Australia and other countries.

Telangana: DGP asks cops to monitor Maoist movement in state

[ad_1]
Hyderabad: Telangana director general of police (DGP) Anjani Kumar on Thursday asked police in the state officials to be alert and monitor Maoist movement and activity across Telangana.
At a workshop conducted through video conference on Thursday that was attended by senior police officials and those working in the districts bordering Maoist affected states, the DGP said said that any small incident in Telangana will have a severe impact on developmental activities. He asked police officers to be more alert in these situations.
The meeting was held on the sidelines of the incident in which 10 security personnel and one civilian were killed in a landmine blast under the Arunapur police station limits in South Bastar on April 26.

Additional DG Greyhounds Vijay Kumar, Additional DG Sanjay Kumar Jain, Inspector General (Special Branch) Prabhakar Rao, and other senior officials were present in this workshop.
Anjani Kumar, in the background of the approaching Telangana Assembly elections, said that officials have been advised to take adequate precautions in terms of security during the visit of political dignitaries and VVIPs in the state.
“There is a possibility that the movements of Maoist action teams will increase in the border areas of the States, and officials should be more cautious in that regard. He said that the Maoists are acting strategically and through one violent incident they are instilling fear in thousands of people. The officers should be alert at all times in such situations,” the Telangana DGP told officers.
The DGP said that since there are 80 per cent newly recruited policemen in Telangana, they should be more aware of Maoist strategies, actions and attacks. Additional DGP (Operations) Vijay Kumar said a special training will be arranged for the PSOs of VIPs on providing security in case of sudden attacks by Maoists and unexpected situations.
Inspector General Prabhakar spoke about the current situation with regard to Maoists in the Telangana and explained the security measures taken by the police through a powerpoint presentation. He suggested that newcomers constantly gather information about the movement of Maoists by interacting with the people at the village level.

Serbia: 13-yr-old school shooter who killed 9 made ‘kill list’; called cops

[ad_1]
Belgrade: A 13-year-old who shot dead eight fellow students and a security guard at a school in the Serbian capital of Belgrade, made a “kill list” and had planned the attack for weeks, according to police.
The suspect, who is alleged to have used his father’s guns — both of which had legal permits, was arrested shortly after the Wednesday morning attack at the Vladislav Ribnikar primary school in central Belgrade, reports the BBC.
His parents have also been arrested.

In a statement, the police said the boy had suspect planned the attack a month in advance and that he had carried a “priority list” of children to target and which classrooms he would go into first.
Most of the victims were born in 2009 — meaning they were either 13 or 14 years of age.
The accused even called the police after the murders as he felt it was right to do so, reported Associated Press.
The motive for the attack, which also led to the injuries of six students and a teacher, is still being investigated, the police said, adding that the boy was said to have gone to a shooting range more than once with his father before the killings.
In a televised address to the nation on Wednesday night, President Aleksandar Vucic described the attack as “the most difficult day in the modern history of our country”.

He said the suspect would be sent to a psychiatric clinic but under current Serbian law, he cannot be held criminally responsible as he is under 14.
Vucic has suggested that the age of criminal liability may be lowered to 12 in the wake of the killings.
He has also proposed several other reforms, including an audit on firearms licences and a tightening of the rules around who can access shooting ranges.
A national three-day mourning period starting on Friday has been announced.
Mass shootings are comparatively rare in Serbia, which has very strict gun laws, but gun ownership in the country is among the highest in Europe.
The western Balkans are awash with hundreds of thousands of illegal weapons following wars and unrest in the 1990s. In 2019, it was estimated that there are 39.1 firearms per 100 people in Serbia – the third highest in the world, behind the US and Montenegro.
In the deadliest shooting since then, Ljubisa Bogdanovic killed 14 people in the central village of Velika Ivanca in 2013, and Nikola Radosavljevic killed nine and wounded five in the eastern village of Jabukovac in July 2007.

Scuffle breaks out between protesting wrestlers, cops at Delhi’s Jantar Mantar

[ad_1]
New Delhi: A scuffle allegedly broke out between the wrestlers staging a protest at Jantar Mantar here and some police personnel, leading to head injuries to a couple of protesters.
Three people, including Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MLA Somnath Bharti, were detained following the incident, police said.
In a video being circulated on social media platforms, some of the protesters can be heard accusing a police personnel of attacking two wrestlers under the influence of alcohol.

The accused policeman is seen sitting in the video, while the protesters allege that his colleagues were mute spectators.
Deputy Commissioner Police (New Delhi) Pranav Tayal said Bharti came to the protest site with folding beds without permission. On being asked about the beds, his supporters became aggressive and tried to get the beds from a truck. Subsequently, a minor altercation took place following which Bharti, along with two others, was detained, the officer added.
Another senior police officer said, “There were a few men who tried bringing cots to the protest site. When the policemen deployed at the spot asked them about the cots, they got aggressive and the protesters joined them. They wrongfully restrained a policeman and accused him of being drunk, which was not the case. Police personnel are at the site and the situation is now under control. No protester was beaten up.”
Former wrestler Rajveer told PTI, “The mattresses got wet due to rain, so we were bringing folding beds for sleeping, but the police did not allow that. Drunk policeman Dharemendra abused Vinesh Phogat and got involved in a scuffle with us.”
“They started hitting us. Bajrang Punia’s brother-in-law Dushyant and Rahul suffered head injuries. The police did not even let doctors reach the site. Even the women constables were misbehaving with us,” he said.

“I was abused and pushed around by policemen. Where are the women police personnel?” asked Phogat.
Punia’s wife Sangeeta also claimed that she was pushed around by policemen.
Punia has called for farmers and their leaders to assemble at the protest site on Thursday morning.
“Delhi Police ki gundagardi ab nahi chalegi (Delhi Police’s high-handedness will not work anymore). We will call farmers to assemble here in numbers. We will not tolerate it anymore. Tractors or trolleys. whatever you get, just come here,” he said.
The wrestlers have been staging a sit-in at Jantar Mantar since April 23. They have levelled allegations of sexual harassment against Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh, who is also a Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP from Uttar Pradesh.
The protesters have been demanding criminal action against Singh for the alleged sexual harassment and intimidation of seven female wrestlers, one of whom is a minor.
The Delhi Police filed two FIRs against the WFI president on Friday on the allegations of sexual harassment levelled against him by the wrestlers.
