In a significant crackdown on cybercrime, Indian authorities have arrested 35-year-old engineer Edison for allegedly operating an extensive darknet marketplace. The suspect reportedly used Monero cryptocurrency to launder money from his illegal operations.
During the dramatic raid, police made several startling discoveries: they confiscated 1,127 LSD stamps, quantities of ketamine, and cryptocurrency holdings valued at over $82,000. The operation culminated a four-month investigation that tracked Edison's sophisticated drug distribution network.

Investigators revealed that Edison's operation was remarkably extensive, with records showing more than 600 drug shipments to major Indian cities including Delhi, Bangalore, Chennai, and the mountainous region of Himachal Pradesh. Operating under the cryptic alias "Ketamelon," Edison had achieved the rare status of being India's only "Level 4" darknet vendor - a classification indicating the highest reliability and volume in underground markets.
The case took an international turn when investigators uncovered Edison's connection to UK-based supplier Gunga Din, identified as the world's largest LSD distributor. This transnational aspect highlights the increasingly global nature of darknet drug trafficking operations.
