Heroin worth Rs 3 crore seized, 65-year-old ‘big supplier’ held

MUMBAI: The city police have arrested one of the “biggest drug suppliers” from Rajasthan with 1 kg of heroin worth Rs 3 crore.


The Anti-Narcotic Cell arrested alleged drug peddler,

Pyare Amanullah Khan

(65), a native of Pratapgarh.

DCP Datta Nalawade said their team got information that a gang of drug peddlers was supplying drugs from Rajasthan through railways. “Our teams were minutely studying small seizures and trying to figure out the source of the contraband. After two months, a team led by inspector

Rajendra Dahipude

learnt that the accused was likely to come to Borivli for delivery of drugs. We laid a trap and nabbed him,” said DCP Nalawade.

During the probe, it transpired that

Khan

had been on the police radar for some time as his name had cropped up recently when they arrested a few big drug suppliers of the city.
