Group of African nationals allegedly attacked CCB officers
Incident took place in Mavallipura, near Rajanukunte in Bengaluru
Police were attacked when they tried arresting African drug peddlers
In a dramatic turn of events on the night of April 18, a group of African nationals allegedly attacked officers from the Central Crime Branch (CCB) of Bengaluru City Police and local police personnel in Mavallipura, near Rajanukunte, on the outskirts of Bengaluru. The altercation erupted as the authorities attempted to apprehend one of the Africans for drug peddling.
According to reports, the confrontation left four police personnel with minor injuries, for which they are currently receiving treatment at a private hospital in Bengaluru. All suspects involved in the incident are now on the run, with the Rajanukunte police having registered a case.
The incident unfolded as CCB anti-narcotics unit officers, led by Investigation Officer Sumbramanya Swamy, moved to arrest an associate of an individual apprehended earlier in April for possession of 4 kg of MDMA crystals valued at ₹4 crore. The accused allegedly imported the narcotics from Africa and sold them to local contacts for ₹8,000 – ₹10,000 per unit.
Upon entering a rented accommodation in Mavallipura to detain the suspect, officers encountered resistance from two individuals present, leading to a physical altercation. The situation escalated when a group of around 10 Africans allegedly joined the fray and started pelting stones at the police team and their vehicles.
Authorities are now intensifying efforts to locate the assailants, while highlighting the need for stricter tenant verification procedures following the revelation that the rented premises were leased to the suspects without adequate document verification.
