Mexico Cartel Leader Killed LIVE: Indian Embassy Issues Advisory For Citizens In Mexico After Killing Of Drug Lord 'El Mencho'

The Mexican military confirmed the death of Nemesio Ruben Oseguera Cervantes, infamously known as 'El Mencho,' the notorious leader of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG). His killing marks a significant blow to one of Mexico's most powerful drug trafficking organizations, which has been linked to various violent incidents across the country. Following this event, the Indian Embassy in Mexico has issued an advisory urging Indian citizens to exercise heightened caution and remain vigilant. The CJNG, notorious for its brutal tactics and involvement in drug-related violence, has been a major player in the global narcotics trade. El Mencho's death may lead to a power vacuum within the cartel, potentially sparking further violence as rival factions vie for control. The implications of this incident extend beyond Mexico, raising concerns among foreign nationals, including Indians in the country. The Indian government is closely monitoring the situation to ensure the safety of its citizens abroad.
