Jharkhand Police are worried that drug syndicates are now using women as drug paddlers for supply of narcotics and to trap youths. As the drug corridor has developed connecting Ranchi Jamshedpur and Kolkata, the recent arrest of two women drug paddlers have alerted the police.
Ranchi police arrested a woman Rizwana Khatoon from Palamu. Police got the details of Rizwana Khatoon as the kingpin of drug supply after they arrested Anand Munda, Vikas Singh and Amit Kumar Singh from Kali Mandir locality under Sukhdeo Nagar Police station area.
The arrested accused revealed that they had purchased 45 grams of brown sugar from her after paying Rs 80,000. Her husband Tinku Kuraishi, in jail from 2017, was involved in drug peddling.
A week back Ranchi police arrested a 20 years old model Jyoti of Vidyanagar under Sukhdeo Nagar police station area. Police recovered 28.26 grams of brown sugar from her possession. Police also recovered a weighing machine and silver foils from her residence.
