School teacher nabbed with Araku maal
Hyderabad:
A school teacher was arrested on Tuesday for smuggling ganja
Vishakhapatnam to Hyderabad with an ex-dealer. Marijuana smuggled
from Visakhapatnam to Hyderabad is called ‘Araku mal’ by users in
the city.
The 30-year-old teacher Golla Kalyan Babu hails from Vijayawada works as a teacher in a private school there. The Hyderabad Commissioner’s Task Force intercepted the vehicle at Shah Inayath Gunj and arrested Golla Kalyan Babu and his friend Kimmudu Mahesh and seized 40 kg of ganja from them.
Kalyan Babu and his friend had bought the weed from Thangulam village, Visakhapatnam, at a low price and planned to sell to an agent at Mangalhat for higher price. Kalyan Babu’s friend Mahesh had earlier been jailed for drug peddling.
A few
days ago, Kalyan Babu had called Mahesh and asked him if they could
smuggle ganja to Hyderabad to earn some quick money. Mahesh agreed
and they went to Thangulam in Vizag and bought ganja by paying Rs
5,000 as advance.
N Koti
Reddy, Additional DCP, Commissioner’s Task Force, said that though
the police could arrest the duo, the main seller from Visakhapatnam
and the buyer from Mangalhat were still absconding.
Police has started a manhunt for the seller in Visakhapatnam and buyer in Mangalhat. Police has registered a case against the teacher and his friend under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act.

A woman was killed and four other civilians were injured in Uri in Jammu and Kashmir's Baramulla district as the Pakistan army intensified artillery fire across the Line of Control (LoC) in Kashmir, officials said, adding that a large number of houses have also been damaged in the cross-border shelling.
Reports state that a Pakistani shell struck the vehicle the woman was traveling in, resulting in her death. The woman was identified as Nargis Bashir, and some of her family members had boarded a vehicle to flee from the Razarwani village in Uri that was hit by the mortar and artillery shells from Pakistan.
In an attempt to educate and make people aware about the consequences of war amid Pakistan's continuous firing in the border states, the Delhi government did a mock drill to test air raid sirens installed at the Public Works Department (PWD) at ITO and asked people to not react out of panic.
District Magistrate (Central) G. Sudhakar also urged people to remain calm and not be alarmed when they hear the sirens.
At least twice, sirens sounded during the drill, which started at 3 pm.
PWD Minister Parvesh Verma said 40-50 more such sirens will be installed across the national capital, each of which will cover an area of 8 km.
Residents present in Rajouri along the Line of Control have started moving to safer areas after heavy cross-border shelling and attempted drone and missile attacks last night by Pakistan. All drone and missile attacks were intercepted and foiled by India's air defence system.

Pakistan has claimed that its Economic Affairs Division account on social media has been hacked and called the post where it appealed for more loans from the international community owing to losses from Operation Sindoor "fake."
In a post on X, Pakistan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs Fact Checker shared a picture of the post and mentioned that it was "fake." Additionally, it asserted that the account had undergone hacking.
A missile-like object is found deep inside the Dal Lake after loud explosions were heard on Saturday morning in Srinagar, which is a major tourist attraction. The defense ministry also confirms that Pakistan has intruded into Srinagar's airspace in a press release.
Since the early hours of Saturday morning (10th May), Srinagar has been rocked with multiple explosions, and now electricity is taken off in various places across Kashmir. The reason for this is yet to be determined, as reports indicate multiple places in Kashmir have lost power. The Indian Army released a statement after the press briefing, where they mentioned that they have attacked and neutralized multiple terrorist launchpads in a coordinated fire assault, razing them to cinders.
