Telangana’s EAGLE team has arrested a key hawala operator, Dargaram Rataji Prajapati, involved in laundering drug proceeds for Nigerian cartels operating across India.
During the operation in Mumbai, police seized Rs3 crore in cash believed to be linked to narcotics activities.
The arrest is part of a broader investigation following the apprehension of Nigerian national Onyeisi Esomchi Kenneth, also known as Maxwell and Emmanuel Bediako, by Rachakonda Narcotics Police. Authorities are continuing their probe into the cartels’ financial network and connections across multiple states.
Officials said this crackdown highlights ongoing efforts to dismantle international drug trafficking networks and curb the laundering of illicit narcotics funds in India.
