tip-off on his activities. They raided his home on Monday in the
Bengaluru police station limits. The police found out that he had
destroyed his passport.

Mumbai and New Delhi, he settled down in Bengaluru in 2012. His visa and
passport expired in 2015, but he continued to stay illegally in the
country. Later, he joined a group of drug peddlers, who procured the
contraband material from suppliers in Goa. It is alleged that Adinife
would supply cocaine to college students in east Bengaluru.
The police have registered a case against him under the Narcotics, Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act, 1985.
