Mumbai: Goats have started arriving at the Deonar slaughterhouse for Eid-ul-Adha. Due to heavy rains, the crowd in the market is less. The Deonar administration has claimed to have completed all the preparations for Eid-ul-Adha. A fee of Rs 195 is being charged from traders per goat, but there is no fee for buyers. Deonar slaughterhouse general manager Kaleem Pasha Pathan said that complete arrangements have been made for the sacrifice in Deonar, along with all the arrangements including the goat shed.

Deonar slaughterhouse is under 24-hour CCTV surveillance. Along with goats, there is a buffalo market here and the purchase of buffaloes has also increased. Last year, due to the increase in goat prices, the purchase of buffaloes was also high, so this year too, the buffalo and goat market has been decorated. He said that all kinds of facilities are available in the market, including medical examination of goats and animals, along with other necessary arrangements including stalls have been made for buyers. Eid-ul-Adha buffaloes are sacrificed in Dewiyar from June 7 to June 9 and the sacrificers are informed about the schedule after booking tokens and slots, along with which online permits for sacrifice are also provided at housing societies and other places. Kaleem Pathan said that fencing and sheds have been arranged for the protection of sacrificial animals, along with roads have also been prepared so that buyers do not face any kind of trouble during the rains.

Mumbai: In a major development, the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) has extradited the kingpin of an international drug trafficking gang from Malaysia with the help of other national and international agencies. It started with the seizure of around 200 grams of cocaine hidden in a projector from a parcel sent from Mumbai to Australia by DHL courier on January 21, 2025.

Following a bottom-up approach during the investigation of the case, the NCB in Navi Mumbai further affected the seizure of 11.540 kg of cocaine, 4.9 kg of cannabis and 5.5 kg of ganja from the house of a member of the syndicate. The investigation has revealed a well-oiled transnational syndicate involved in smuggling cocaine from the US to India and further distributing it within and outside India. The investigation further revealed the involvement of Clearing House Agents (CHAs) and Hawala operators.

A total of 08 people have been arrested so far and the ringleader, who was in Thailand in 2021 after escaping from an earlier NCB case in connection with LSD smuggling, was in Malaysia and was brought to India following a recent NCB Red Notice. The investigation into the case has already revealed that the syndicate had been operating for at least a year and several air cargo parcels of cocaine were received in Mumbai during this period. The interrogation of the ringleader brought from Malaysia is likely to reveal more details of his operations, including the sources of drugs in the US. The financial investigation in the case has already identified assets including properties and bank accounts in Thailand. Efforts are underway to attach these properties. In a significant development, the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) has deported the ringleader of an international drug trafficking gang from Malaysia with the help of other national and international agencies.
