Vivekram Aasre (29), Sajid Qureshi (19) and Shammo Khan (45) were arrested by the Dahisar police on Sunday for possessing 100 gm of cocaine worth Rs 5 lakh.
Police officials said the trio came to Pune from UP on December 24. They then hired a car from a travel agency and reached Mumbai Central on Sunday. "We received a tip-off that the group was carrying a sample of the drug to show it to another party.
We intercepted their vehicle at Dahisar and nabbed them. Aasre is a butcher, hailing from Bhadohi. The travel agency was not aware of the drugs in their possession," said senior inspector Ansar Pirzade.
