										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Based on a tip, officials from the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) recovered roughly 3 kg of drugs worth crores in Bengaluru. Officials stated the shipment, which was to be delivered to Australia, was hidden in three lehengas, and that one person has been arrested in connection with the case.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>On October 21, a team led by NCB Bangalore Zonal Director Amit Ghawate intercepted the package and recovered roughly 3 kg of white-colored crystalline substance, believed to be pseudoephedrine, hidden in three lehengas.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The prohibited material was discovered after opening each fold of the lehengas&#8217; fall line. The cargo was scheduled to be shipped from Narasapuram, Andhra Pradesh, to Australia. The officials followed the package to Chennai and identified the consignor.</p>
