Narcotic Group Arrested By Navi Mumbai Police
The Navi Mumbai Police successfully busted the Drugs selling group in the city.
Case in Detail
The Anti-Human Trafficking Cell of the Navi Mumbai police successfully raided Kopri village Sector-26A on Friday afternoon in a massive crackdown on drug selling, apprehending 11 African nationals. The people were reportedly assembled to engage in the illegal trade of drugs. During the operation, a significant amount of narcotics, including cocaine, methoxylon, and MDA pills, valued at an estimated Rs 1.83 crore, were seized.
The coordinated operation encompassed several units, including the Crime Branch Central Cell, APMC, and Vashi police stations. It was led by Assistant Commissioner of Police, Financial Crimes Branch, Dhanaji Kshirsagar, and Senior Police Inspector, Prithviraj Ghorpade. Following up on a tip from the Anti-Human Trafficking Cell, police moved quickly to raid the defendants’ purported residence, Kush Apartment.
When police arrived, the African nationals refused to be taken into custody, which led to a scuffle. But police officers were able to take them down and examine the area thoroughly, finding a large amount of illegal drugs. Along with methauculone and MDA, 1679 grams of cocaine were found among the confiscated goods, adding to the total estimated value of Rs 1.83 crore.
The Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act (NDPS) was used to book the following people: Donatous Chidokwe, Ofozor Basile, Edwin Obirah Udairke, Frak Nzekwesi, Vinson Llabadi Ukaigwe, James Cooper, Oku O Leaoun, George Blason, Charles Teme Ozorann Wapoka, A Guson Koukou Allen, and Ndwe Okechukwan Donatus.

Scrap Dealer Arrested in Connection with Baba Siddique Murder Case, Total Arrests Reach 10
A scrap dealer from Navi Mumbai has been arrested for allegedly supplying a weapon to the shooters involved in the killing of former Maharashtra minister Baba Siddique. The arrest brings the total number of individuals in custody to 10. Baba Siddique was fatally shot on October 13 near the office of his son, an MLA, in Bandra.
The accused, identified as Bhagwat Singh Om Singh (32), originally from Udaipur, Rajasthan, and currently residing in Navi Mumbai, was arrested by the Mumbai Police’s crime branch. He was remanded to police custody until October 26.
Two shooters, Gurmail Baljit Singh (23) and Dharmaraj Rajesh Kashyap (19), are also in custody, while three conspirators, including Shivkumar Gautam, remain absconding.
Of the 10 arrested, five individuals initially demanded ₹50 lakh for the job but later withdrew due to a dispute over payment and the influence of the slain politician. These five, who provided logistical support to the shooters, were paid ₹5 lakh.
The police have also suspended three officers for negligence after videos surfaced showing a Lawrence Bishnoi gang sharpshooter commenting on Siddique’s murder while in custody. A lookout circular has been issued for three additional suspects, including Shivkumar Gautam, Shubham Lonkar, and Mohammed Zeeshan Akhtar.

Garbage Blockage in JNPA Drain Creates Health Crisis for Sonari and Karal Villages
A serious cleanliness and health crisis has emerged in the project-affected villages of Sonari and Karal due to garbage accumulation in a natural water drainage channel built by the Jawaharlal Nehru Port Authority (JNPA). The blocked drain, constructed at a cost of crores, was intended to manage water drainage for the villages but has now become a hotspot for waste buildup.
The situation has resulted in increased health risks for local residents, as stagnant water and accumulated waste have led to a rise in mosquito, rat, and cockroach populations. This has heightened concerns over the potential spread of diseases.
The problem is further exacerbated by the presence of numerous hotels, food outlets, and liquor shops along the JNPA-Panvel main road near Karal Fata, a bustling area that contributes to the waste issue. Local residents have called for immediate action from authorities to clear the blockage and address the sanitation crisis before it worsens.
Efforts to clean the drainage system and enforce better waste management practices are urgently needed to ensure the health and safety of the affected communities.
