Hi, I'm Viyu. Ask me about the stories collected here. I answer only from them, with numbered links to the outlets that published them, and I say so when they do not cover it.
Maldives Customs seized 2.05kg of heroin from the luggage of two Indian passengers travelling from Malaysia to Maldives at Velana International Airport on 15 October 2024. The narcotics, with an estimated street value of approximately MVR 2.05 million, along with the passengers, were handed over to the Maldives Police Service for further investigation and legal proceedings.
