Two Foreign Nationals Arrested in Hyderabad with 150 Grams of MDMA
Hyderabad police and the Hyderabad Narcotic Enforcement Wing arrested two foreign nationals—a 37-year-old Yemeni and a 28-year-old Palestinian—for drug peddling, seizing 150 grams of MDMA. The Yemeni, residing in Tolichowki, procured drugs from an absconding Nigerian supplier via online orders, while the Palestinian, a Bengaluru-based Ludo game content creator, assisted in distribution. Both have prior NDPS Act cases, and a case under the NDPS and Foreigners Acts has been registered against them.
