MDMA samples sent to FSL, NFSU lab for testing

Mangaluru city police have sent samples of the 37.878 kg of MDMA, worth ₹75 crore, to State Forensic Science Laboratory in Bengaluru and National Forensic Science University’s Laboratory, which was seized from two West African women, who are said to be drug peddlers, in Bengaluru recently. As the seized drug is of huge quantity, there is legal requirement to get report from a national laboratory and hence another sample was sent to NFSU’s laboratory in Gandhinagar, Gujarat. The Central Crime Branch sleuths of Mangaluru arrested Bamba Fanta alias Adonis Jabulile, 31, and Abigail Adonis alias Olijo Evans, 30, from a flat in Bengaluru when they were reportedly preparing to leave the house to distribute MDMA, soon after their arrival at Bengaluru Airport from Delhi, on March 14. Like their earlier visits to Bengaluru, this time too they wanted to distribute MDMA to their contacts quickly and return to Delhi within 24 hours of landing at Bengaluru airport, the official said.
