										<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>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Several unidentified Urdu-speaking individuals forced their way into an office in Kabul dealing with Indian visas for distribution on behalf of the Indian Missions in Afghanistan and seized an unknown number of Afghan passports with stamped Indian visas, triggering a red alert within Indian security agencies handling immigration. The incident occurred on August 15, the day the Taliban took control of Kabul following a quick retreat by US forces.</p>
<p>According to sources familiar with the situation, Indian immigration services have been informed of the seizure of Afghan passports with Indian visas, citing a severe concern that these documents could be used to fabricate false passports for terrorists in the future.</p>
<p>While it is unclear whose organization was behind the attack on the Indian visa outsourcing firm in Kabul, the invaders were speaking Urdu, which raises suspicions about Pakistan.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The transport department seized seven luxury cars on Sunday night, including a Rolls-Royce that was registered in Amitabh Bachchan&#8217;s name in 2019. Officials from the transportation department stated they performed a special drive near UB city and seized these fancy cars for allegedly not paying taxes. According to one of the officials, other reasons for detaining the automobiles include a lack of adequate documentation and insurance.</p>
<p>“The person who was driving the Rolls-Royce car was one Salman Khan from Vasant Nagar,” stated Additional Transport Commissioner Narendra Holkar. He lacked the necessary vehicle documentation. He did, however, show a letter signed by Bachchan in which he stated that the vehicle had been sold to him. All seven vehicles have been parked at the RTO in Nelamangala.</p>
