On July 6, India's National Drug Control Agency (NCB) arrested Edison, a 35-year-old Kerala engineer, suspected of running the country's largest dark-net drug trafficking ring and using Monero to hide transactions. Indian authorities seized more than $82,000 in crypto assets during Operation MELON. For the past two years, the suspect has been running a dark web drug trafficking ring under the nickname "Ketamelon". Edison allegedly purchased drugs from global suppliers, laundered the proceeds through the privacy coin Monero (XMR), and shipped the drugs to various parts of India.
