Investigators informed that Assikannan was evading arrest by changing his attire in different parts of country right from Noida, Gurgaon to Bangalore, Chennai.
"We caught him on a road leading to Bangalore airport and it was suspected that he was planning to fly outside the country," said a senior police official. Assikannan was produced in the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act court of H M Patwardhan and has been remanded to police custody until August 31 for further investigations.
Revealing the catch, a polie officer said that it was on the basis of technical information that they caught him who was time to time seen fleeing one city after other.
Initial investigations revealed that the accused-Sushil Assikannan-had smuggled nearly 200 to 300 kilograms worth Rs 12 crore of ephedrine to different countries and is believed to have readied some of the consignment to the other parts of country including Gujarat. "IT is suspected that the transportation of ephedrine was solely managed and transported by Assikannan not just in country but out of country on several occasions," informed a police officer.
Assikanan's aide and manager - Hardip Gill - is already arrested in the case and presently lodged in Thane central Jain while Assikannanis was on run since his name cropped up in the investigations in April.
