South African national sentenced to 15 years for bringing 4kg heroin into India
Mumbai: Refuting the defence that he unknowingly carried the drugs after an agent sent him for football team trials in India, a special Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act (NDPS) court convicted and sentenced a 34-year-old South African national to 15 years of rigorous imprisonment for importing nearly four kilograms of heroin into India in 2022. The case, which centred on a carefully planned operation by the Narcotic Control Bureau (NCB) following a tip-off, also resulted in a fine of Rs 1.50 lakh for the accused, Mapoma Lemao. The judge refuted the defence advocate's arguments that the contraband was subsequently planted, as it remained untraced even after Lemao went through mandatory checks at three airports: Johannesburg, Addis Ababa, and Mumbai. Special Judge PP Jadhav reasoned, "It has revealed that the contraband was concealed by creating a false cavity (of the bag) covered with plastic and cotton cloth. The contraband has missed in the strict checking on all three airports. This is not the first and last instance wherein the contraband is not traced in the mandatory checking." Lemao was found guilty of various offences under the NDPS Act for conspiring, importing, and possessing 3.980 kgs of heroin. A co-accused, Mwanyuki Musa, a Tanzanian national, was acquitted. The judge said that, as pointed out by Musa's advocate, Dilip Mishra, except for Lemao's statement and that of an intelligence officer involved in the operations, there was no independent evidence to show his involvement. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Take a Look - How Watching Videos Can Boost Your Income TheDaddest Undo "Certainly, the mere statement of a co-accused cannot be the base to prove the guilt of the accused," the judge said. You Can Also Check: Mumbai AQI | Weather in Mumbai | Bank Holidays in Mumbai | Public Holidays in Mumbai The prosecution's case detailed a raid initiated by the NCB, Mumbai Zonal Unit, following a specific intelligence note received on April 11, 2022, that Lemao would arrive the following morning at the city's international airport. The note said that he would either be carrying drugs in his bag or on himself. Lemao was apprehended, and a search was conducted. The heroin was recovered from a cavity in his bag, and he was arrested. During his statement, Lemao claimed he was promised a football trial in India by an agent named Faris. He stated that Faris handled his travel arrangements and asked him to carry the drugs, instructing him to deliver the consignment to a woman named Lyidi Jina at a hotel near the airport. Lemao also implicated his co-accused, Musa, stating that Faris had provided his details as a backup contact. Musa was subsequently intercepted by another NCB team on April 13, 2022, in Navi Mumbai. In his statement, which could not be proved in court, Musa allegedly claimed he was instructed by his business partner, a Tanzanian national named Zohoro, to receive a drug consignment from a South African traveller and send it to a woman in Delhi. Zohoro had provided him with a photo identity of Lemao. Despite the prosecution's claims against both men, the judge found Musa not guilty, leading to his acquittal.

TN man beheads three daughters, kills self
Namakkal: Unable to pay off his debts, a 36-year-old man beheaded three daughters aged 10, 7 and 6, and died by suicide by slitting his throat at his residence in Veppagoundanputhur village in Namakkal district in the early hours of Tuesday. According to the Mangalapuram police, the brutal crime was committed by M Govindaraj, a manager with a borewell firm. 'He had taken a loan of Rs20 lakh to start his own borewell firm and construct a new house. While he purchased machinery to start his own business, he couldn't roll it out. He was not in a position to repay the loan as well,' a police officer said. He said Govindaraj went to bed with his three daughters - Pratikshasree, 10, Rithikasree, 7, and Devasree, 6 – after dinner on Monday night. 'His wife Bharathi, 26, and one-year-old son Agneeswaran went to sleep in another room. Around 3am on Tuesday, Bharathi woke up to the screams of her daughters from the room the trio were sharing with her husband. When she tried to rush to their rescue, she found that her room's door was locked from outside. ' On hearing the cries of children, neighbours reached the spot immediately, broke open the main door of the house and released Bharathi from her room. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo 'She rushed to the other room and to her horror found her daughters dead with their heads severed. Her husband's body was found beside them with a knife in his throat,' the officer said. When alerted, the Mangalapuram police retrieved the bodies and transported them to the Namakkal Govt Medical College and Hospital at Rasipuram for postmortem. 'It seems Govindaraj took this extreme step as he was unable to repay the loan. Preliminary autopsy report suggests that Govindaraj has consumed poison as well. He later slit his throat with a knife to end his life,' said district superintendent of police S Vimala. The Mangalapuram police have registered a case. 'We are trying to find out additional motives, if any, behind the murders,' the officer said.

Trial ends in ‘12 working days', man gets life for friend's murder
Meerut: A court in Bulandshahr on Tuesday convicted a 25-year-old man and sentenced him to life in jail for killing his friend on March 15 this year. The trial - under UP Police's 'Operation Conviction' initiative - began on July 16 and was completed in just 12 working days. Akash Kumar, 23, from Khurja, Bulandshahr, used to work with his friend Rahul Kumar, 25, and sold helmets in Delhi. It is alleged that Akash used to often mock Rahul's struggling financial situation. Things turned ugly in Holi when both returned home. Rahul had invited Akash for drinks in an empty farm in Gothni village. "An argument broke out between the two, and in a fit of rage, Rahul struck Akash's head and face with a sharp, heavy object before fleeing. His body was found the next morning," said ADGC Vijay Sharma. The ADGC added an FIR was registered under BNS section 103 (1) (murder) on March 16, and nine witnesses were produced in the court of ADJ-III Varun Mohit Nigam. Police arrested Rahul soon after the incident, and the weapon used in the murder was also found. "Considering the heinous nature of the crime, the court rejected the convicted man's plea for mercy, and sent him to prison for life, along with imposing a fine of Rs 25,000 on him," said Sharma. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Gold Is Surging in 2025 — Smart Traders Are Already In IC Markets Learn More Undo SSP Dinesh Kumar told TOI: "The judgment was part of 'Operation Conviction', an initiative by UP Police aimed at expediting convictions of crimes against women, children and heinous criminal elements. Detailed evidence was produced and the trial was expedited so that the accused could be convicted without delay." "Coordination between IOs, prosecution and judicial staff were key in the case. Bulandshahr has topped in UP in the ranking for June for the most number of convictions in a month. However, this is the first conviction under the new BNS Act in Bulandshahr district," Kumar added.
