Mangalore, Oct 8: The Corps of Detectives department of the Anti Narcotics Bureau here, arrested two persons, who were engaged in selling heroin in the city near Kulshekar on Wednesday October 7 and seized 510 grams of heroin worth about Rs 50 lac from them.
The arrested persons have been identified as Mohammed Nilzar (23) and Aaron Roshan (18). A motor bike, scooter and a mobile phone, that were used by the arrested men for selling the drug, have also been confiscated from them. The city unit inspector of the Anti Narcotics Bureau, Anasuya, personnel Krishna Harish, Ashok and Navin Kumar nabbed the two, by posing as customers willing to buy heroin.
Reportedly, the accused used to get heroin from Goa and then supply the same to various parts of the city and Kerala state. The policemen succeeded in their efforts to zero in on the operatives, after a prolonged effort spread over the last two months. Reportedly, heroin peddling is one of the reasons for some of the unsavoury incidents that have been occurring in Kulshekar area of the city since some time.
The Bureau is looking into the possibility of the involvement of more people in the racket. A case has been registered in this connection, at the city rural police station. The policemen have begun their investigations.
