Hyderabad continues to be rocked by the activities of drug mafia as the police busted one more Nigerian-led gang involved in supply of narcotics for the rave party.
Rachakonda police commissioner Mahesh Bhagwat said that four persons including a Nigerian Gabriel were arrested and a large quantity of drugs of various types were seized.
The gang was sourcing the drugs from Pune and Goa and supplying in Hyderabad, he said.
"Ankit Pandey, Nuka Naviyant and Ganat Kumar were also arrested while another member pawan Kumar Reddy was absconding", the commissioner said.
Police have seized five gram cocaine, 60 gram ganja, 60 doses of lDS, 40 gram of MDMA and other substances.
Police said that the module had links with other gangs including the one led by Calvin Mascarenhas which had a large network of drug suppliers to the Telugu film industry.
The Nigerian Gabriel had come to Hyderabad on students visa.
"We have identified six clients of the gang. The gang had planned a big rave party in Goa on August 15. It also had links with the film industry", Bhagwat said.
The latest bust has come on the top of the arrest of more than 20 drug peddlers and questioning of 12 Telugu film celebrities bringing the grim reality to the fore that the city was a big pile of drugs which had left hundreds of young students and MNCs employees addicted.
