Thane drug bust: Mamta Kulkarni to get Red Corner Notice

Former Bollywood actress Mamta Kulkarni wanted in the Ephedrine drug bust cast by the Thane Police will soon be issued a Red Corner Notice (RCN) soon

Former Bollywood actress Mamta Kulkarni wanted in the Ephedrine drug bust cast by the Thane Police will soon be issued a Red Corner Notice (RCN) soon. Kulkarni, who is currently believed to be in hiding in Mombassa, Kenya, will find it difficult to leave the country once the RCN is issued as she would be detained if she approaches any airport to fly out of the country with Indian authorities being informed immediately. A Red Corner Notice (RCN), which is issued at the request of the United Nations Security Council, is considered the closest instrument to an international arrest warrant in use today.

According to The Indian Express, police sources say the process of obtaining the RCN was initially delayed due to the absence of a chargesheet initially which was filed on September 29, along with a dossier on Mamta Kulkarni which is being prepared and will be submitted to the Interpol wing of the CBI. Cops expect to get the RCN in a couple of months time.
